Crohn's Disease, Bronchiectasis, and Biologics

Hello!

I have Crohn`s for 25 years, gastroparesis for 8 years, GERD, osteoporosis and Bronchiectasis. Recently, I was diagnosed with thyroid problems with a high possibility of cancer. I am having surgery on June 12, to remove part of my thyroid. Some studies show a link between Crohn`s and BE, but it is not very clear why it happens. Some researchers think that for us with GERD, the silent reflux can be the cause. I use biologics to treat my asthma, osteoporosis and migraines. My immune system is very weak. I do my best to know my risk factors for NTMs and act accordingly. It is exhausting, Crohn`s and gasrtoparesis are already very hard to live with. My diet is very restricted
and the flares come and go. I hope you can find the balance and enjoy life. I do my best to move forward and stay positive. Hugs!
