My college roommate had Crohn's and it was... brutal just to see what it did to him. I remember spending some time in our dorm room helping him get some Ensure down one time, and he told me how scared he was of ending up in a wheelchair with a colostomy and so on.

- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI worked with a young guy that suddenly found out he had it. He started feeling ill, then pain, and wound up in the hospital for some time. He didn't know he had it: I know for a while he wound up with a colostomy bag as his colon healed, and was looking at a lifetime of restricted eating and other such things. To make matters worse, his long-term girlfriend/fiance left him while he was in the hospital. I wish I knew what happened to him. He wound up moving out of state to stay with his parents as he got better, and basically cut most folks out of his life at that time.
