Crohn's Disease (non bpi)

Post by BIGJAVSMA »

My husband was just discharged from the hospital with a new diagnsosis of Crohn's. Are any of you dealing with this or have a family member that is? Tips, websites, info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks UBPN Family!

I have a few friends with it. I deal with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and some of it resembles Crohn's.

Good luck,
