Does anybody on here have crohns disease?

Posted by genabarrick @genabarrick, Nov 27, 2023

I have really bad pains from crohns flare ups. I was told there was a growth on my intestine.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Support Group.

Hi. It appears you are new to MayoConnect. Its a great community and some point one of our awesome mentors will officially welcome you and make sure your question is on the best focus areas. Sadly, since you have a specific question, let me say I do not have Crohn’s disease. I do have a different autoimmune disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis. And I have flares with that. And I just had lung cancer removed six months ago.

When you say they told you there is a growth on your intestine can you talk a bit about that? Was it found in testing of some kind? Did the docs say how they want to react to it? Like more testing or imaging?

I guarantee that someone in this incredible community has walked the path you find yourself on. They will find us. Maybe not tonight tho. So in the meantime let’s just explore what you know and how you learned it. If that suits you.

@lkleck Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect ! You are in the right support group! If I may ask, what prompted you to join Connect? Maybe tell us a little bit about yourself. Where you live, how old you are (can ship this one!) are you working or retired? In school? My English is really bad here, so just ignore it. Past my bedtime, so just ignore my punctuation, and words that got messed up or misspelled.
