Im new here, so please bare with me. For the past year and a half I have been going through one hell of a bout of Crohn's flare up. I was only finialy diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. The question I have is, does anyone else find that their crohn's has led to an eating disorder? Over the past few months I have droped so much weight I am now almost dangerously under weight. The doctors and my family and friends keep harping on me to eat, but I am afraid to. Over the past year and a half I learned to fear food. It doesn't mean I don't get hunger because believe me I get hungery. But generaly I just avoid food altogether. And if I do have a weak moment and indulge in some, I force myself to throw it up right away before it can enter my intestines and cause the sever pain. I know this behaviour is dangerous, but the thing is I would rather starve then to deliberatly bring on the level of pain I know is going to come with food. As is, I am on morphine shots 3 to 4 times a day...and that helps for the milder flare ups but when it gets really bad morphine doesn't even work. Usualy I have to take shots of dilodid (which really mess me up and cause me to halusinate and puke my guts out)
