Need An Answer

i got diagnosed with crohns today and im not sure how i got it but i was wondering since i had a gastritis infection in oct.2008 that maybe it left a scar in my lower intestine and caused inflammation,,, and since 08 when i smoked weed sometimes i would get a terrible painful feeling in my stomach and clench my eyes shut and take the pain for like a couple of minutes and it would leave after a while and at school in like march i had a terrible stomach ache and had to go to the restroom and the bowels were loose and watery and then when i smoked some weed before i went to school in like aug or september i had major stomach aches the whole day so what do you guys think of this?

im 18 and i get mines here in atlanta but even though i was diagnosed i dont have pain they just gave me an x-ray and found it without me even knowing becuase i was pain free and when i smoked weed it made my stomach hurt a lot but how often does your son have pains and how long has it been going on?

This is interesting. My son was in the ER night before last with inflammed colon. He is at the doctor now and they will determine if it is Chrohn's Disease. He too smokes weed and often tells me it takes away pain. I am going to ask him if he had stomach pains.  Could there be something in the weed? He gets his in California, is that where you get yours by any chance?  I'm sorry for your diagnosis.  What exactly are your symptoms with this disease? My son is 20, how old are you?
