nice to hear andrew, I've had cd for 40 years, 1st when I was 20 and I was a pro horse jockey, that time i was ill (quite I'll) for a year, after 9 months they went in and removed 8ft of infected small bowel, total remission for 7 years no meds, then it just came back, but not that bad, then it was just on and off, gas blockages that would last 2-6 hrs then sore for a day, then I seriously broke my jaw,twice in a 12 week period. surgery both times, on the second jaw suergery my stomach got so bad that when they took wireds off my mouth they did another resection, then total remission for 7 years, now it's back and I'm on state disability and have applied for ssdi, I'm 59. my point andrew is don't ever forget you have cd, because it will one day remind you. I'm on med's now. but after my surgeries glorious remission, like I never had it. nice to meet you, take care
