Yeah it’d be nice if big pharma didn’t look at us as cash cows and focused more on the cause of colitis and how to prevent it.

I've been suffering since 2014 with this condition, it ruined my 20s, I couldn't do anything, had no life, it's a very depressive disease. I hope they find a cure for this not just a remission. The pain I've been going through is something I would never want even for my worst enemy. Please lord I pray this goes away and out of my body 🙏🏼

[clanka]

Life is just fucking depressing. I just want a cure to be found

I was diagnosed in in 1998 and immediately went for surgery, all seemed fine until whack buckled over in pain in 2010, another resection but this time luckily also found cancer in small bowel. Funnily enough during my 6 mths of chemotherapy I was at my best, put on weight which was so good, my crohns is now around the anus so was hoping would fall out but no, now have perianal fistula. Current medication I’m on is Entyvio after trying other like humira but had to keep increasing dosage. Please keep research happening.

It's absolutely STUPID that this woman keeps referring to and pointing at a chart which they NEVER SHOW ...very annoying

[echomoonstar]

Please include photos of the diagrams the speaker is referring to.

[northerngal]

Yes we can’t see what you are referring to on the “board”.

Also where do these cells come from? The biologics?

[lucysmith]

Im just starting low dose naltrexone LDN for crohns and other conditions and changed diet, which was causing more damage, gluten, bad oils, sugar, and lactose. I'm feeling better already.

What about the Chron's Map Vaccine trial in the UK?

[MackemdownsouthF.T.M]

Mesalamine, the mildest antiinflammatory for UC, is slowly destroying my kidneys. I was a perfectly healthy person. Two years ago I was diagnosed with UC since that time I'm on mesalamine ( Pentasa) and now I often have a very painful kidney attacks. So what now? We are stopping the UC flare-up, but hurting the kidneys and liver. Stupid. I also need healthy kidneys and liver. Or not???
