hi tabitha
i dont mean to be horrible or anything, but are you sure your boyf has cf? vegetables can be digested normally in cf - thats why i ask. maybe you should ask him a few more questions about it, just to be sure.

Tabitha,
If you and James love each other then you should just ask him why he takes these pills. Keep the communication open and let him know you are there for him. As far as your dad not liking him......this happens when you are a teen and I don't think his medical conditional will make him like James any more or less. Sounds like he has other reasons for not liking him and maybe you need to ask your mom or dad why they don't like him.<img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

Maybe sounds like Crohn's disease....it affects the digestive system in much the same way that CF does...

I dont know much about Crohn's Disease...but I do know that it affects the intestines....inflammation of the intestines keeps them from working properly. I know there is medication to help...but like CF..there is no cure. He will always have to take medication for it. I'm sure you can go online ...type in "Crohn's Disease"...and start searching. Good luck ...take care!

A close friend of mine has Chron's he has had many feet (I think 8) of his large intestine removed and had part of his bowel removed. With Chron's you usually get little ulcers and sores that line the intesines and bowels.

He should still research his condition and listen to his doctor, certain foods and drinks can cause flair up's.
I was talking to my friend a couple of weeks ago, I was drinking a Dr. Pepper. He told me a story about how he drank one can of Dr. Pepper and it flaired up his chrohns and ended up in the hospital.

Bad Dr. Pepper.

My buddy also smokes and I have not heard him say that smoking affects his chrohns. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't quit. Your boyfriend and my buddy should quit smoking, not becasue they have chrohn's but becasue it is the right thing to do.

I am sure that chrohn's and lung cancer do not go well together.

hello, I am the mother of a four year old with CF, and I have Crohn's. Crohn's is a disease of the digestive system. It causes ulcerations anywhere in the digestive tract, from the mouth to the other end. I have had surgery to remove diseased portions of my intestine and more medicine than I can count. It's not a fun disease, but it's much easier to deal with than CF. James will probably take medication for the rest of his life, some of which can cause undesireable side effects. This can be an embarrassing disease to have (anything involving the digestive system usually is!) Don't pressure him to talk about it, that will only push him away. Be there for him, but remember that this disease is a part of him but doesn't define him. Hang in there.

Thats terrible. i've just read all the topics and to be honest you really don't need to be with someone who's going to go off with another girl.
Your here trying to get info on whats going on with him and so you can be there for him in anyway you can and then just because he gets a bit sick and can't go to your home coming( sorry i'm from england and not really sure how important that is so forgive me if homecoming is a big deal!!) he just stops talking to you. It sounds like you really did love him and i think personelly he lost out on someone who actually was gonna be there for him and not just run when ever he got sick. i might be way off but thats just my opinion.
I'm with my bf two and a half years and he has cf. We've gone through our bad times with him being sick and i've been there for him. He's told me about how some girls he's been with couldn't handle it when he got sick and they ended breaking up. whereas i didn't. I'm not to familar on chronns but it sounds like you where a girl who would of stayed with him. so thats that. i couldn't really get out on here what was in my head but hopefully i put it down here best i could.
bye
