Hi I am new to the forum. I myself do not have any form of IBD but my boyfriend does. I am an almost 38 yr old mother of 2. I love my man with all my heart but he is not an especially verbal guy about anything. I have done some talking to him about his Crohn's and have done online research but figured the best way to get information and help is from others more talkative that also suffer the same problem. He was diagnosed in his teens and has had surgery to remove 15' of his small intestine. He has trouble digesting certain foods and if he he eats them even in small doses he has some major flair ups. He is also in the process of getting disability as he can't work full time. He never knows when he will have a flair up and can spend almost all day in the bathroom. I feel terrible for him as I suffer my own very mild bladder and bowel issues although nothing like him or any of you. I would love to hear from all of you with any information to help me understand how he feels, how i can help him especially when it comes to foods and their preparation. Thanks so much to everyone.
