I suspect I’ve had some form of IBD for years, but unfortunately much of what I’ve read indicates that truly managing it means a strict diet and eschewing certain foods, I’d almost rather just live with the discomfort at this point.
- oh_sigh 5y agoCareful there... IBD isn't just discomfort, even if that is the immediate effect - long term gut lining inflammation can lead to cellular damage greatly increasing your risks of certain kinds of intestinal/colon cancers. Have you considered the possibility that you're merely sensitive to certain types of food, which would be easier to cut out than doing large scale diet readjustments?

The only reason I suspect IBD is the occasional formation of painful mouth ulcers which I hear are common in Chron’s disease. It was the only thing I could find that left sores exactly like that in the area on the inside of my lip in front of the teeth.
