In general, digestive diseases are hidden in the bathroom. You don’t talk about anything that happens there unless it’s with your spouse or a close friend.

I’ll take any chance I can to find an upside to having Crohn’s
- I’ve made some amazing friends
- I have a different perspective on life
- It’s helped shape me into who I am today
one that comes up more often is how I interact with stress in my life
everyone deals with stress in…
Is there like a form I need to fill out or a place I need to apply to quit Crohn’s disease? This is my two weeks notice. Seriously. Done. I’m over it.

I could not be more excited to welcome you all to The Crohn’s Journey Foundation! This has been something I have been working on non stop for the last 4 months. Before I go on about it I have to let you all know that this would have not been possible with out a couple amazing people, my two stars, Kevin Barnes and Linton Rogers. These men have donated their time and energy to help transform this dream into a reality. Their creative minds, patience and love for the cause is evident in each of these pages.
I also want to thank Maya who has joined the team and helps me with the every day craziness that comes with setting all these exciting projects up. Aaron has been incredible with managing our social media accounts and surpassed the roll of a “volunteer”. I can not wait to welcome soon our other volunteers who will be making the retreats possible… stay tuned for their bios to come up on our retreats gallery page. I can also not forget my dear friends that have been supportive and helped donate their time as we brainstormed how to solve the many little problems that would arise when creating the foundation.
And thank YOU!!! You know who you are, my Crohnie Family and Colitis Friends. Your active participation on the site and through our social media outlets, keeps me going. ALL OF YOU motivate ME and I thank you for that!
I hope to see all your beautiful faces at one of our many upcoming retreats and events. Don’t forget to sport our unique and inspirational heart tattoos, that represents the IBD movement to love your insides! Please enjoy the web site and explore the many great projects and features we have set up just for YOU.
Sending Love To All Of Your Bellies!

I just need a toilet like this, then my life will be complete.
Hey Crohn’s,
thanx heaps for making me fart loudly in front of those people at work. It was awesome and not embarrassing at all D:

Welp, I just learned a lesson.
I haven’t seen my GI in about a year so I figured I would get a general check up appointment.
Turns out the next appointment he’s open is May 9th.
The lesson? Don’t want to make an appointment, even if you’re not in a hurry to see your GI.
I still can never remember how to spell diarrhea…
The semester began last week for me and with the beginning of the semester comes new teachers.
I like to let my teachers know that I have Crohn’s disease and that I may end up missing a day of class or ditching out for a few minutes if I have to use the bathroom.
I have three…
