hello everyone real quick my story is im 26, i was diagnosed aug 2011. i had sever symptoms prior just was scared of the end result i thought i had everything under the sun. i would have 15-20 bowel movements a day. i just didn't tell anyone. it was until i couldn't hide the pain and discomfort anymore and everyone tell me to get checked. i was 350 lbs and lost around 150 pounds. i weigh 190 something now i also developed an eating disorder, i began not to like food because of the the outcome of it, PAIN. i did i have a colonoscopy and a endoscopy. my GI diagnosed me put me on pentasa i took it for 2 weeks and constipated for the whole time may had 3 bowel movements that killed me to make. Quit taking Meds and continued to self medicate. i would never have an appetite until i would use marijuana. marijuana also soothe some of the pain help gain my appetite and help me stayed in remission no flares for two years. i got very dehydrated recently and i believe this caused my flare up. i really think they should allow crohnies to use Marijuana legally. it helps trust and believe me when i say it
