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">

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!

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.

wow thats crazy....! yeah i think hes a good boy and listenes to what his doctor tells him to do if not he listens to me haha yeah.... but anyways i researched it and printed out some really good information on it too...so i feel aa little bit better about it<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and im not so worried anymore bcuz he doesnt want me to be...and we dont really talk about it but i think when he comes over on friday we are gonna sit down and im gonna ask him about it....if it doesnt make him feel too uncomfortable that is<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and ill tell him to stay away from the dr pepper.....hehe hey can smoking make it worse?? or is it really really bad for someone with crohns to smoke? bcuz see he does..and its bad anyways but im thinking if it could be worse he might stop you know well i hope to hear form yall soon love *Tabitha*
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.
Thanks!!! yea im trying to hang in there but now hes just not taking my phone calls anymore......i have decided to give up....on being with him anyways bcuz i hear hes with another girl...so yea that has nothing to do with this topic but owell<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> haha yea im alright though<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ttfn love tabitha
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
