The Day I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis

The Day I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis was most stressful day of my life, I literally wanted to end my life. I was so scared driving to the doctors for my results that I crashed my brothers car on a snowy day and hit a building.. instant right off.

Some part of me was hoping I didn’t actually have an IBD, or that it was less severe. The GI doctor came in sat me down, and told me I won the disease lottery… I was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s Colitis.. not one but both diseases!! All I could think about was how bad these diseases are, and how shitty my life was going to be. It was a freckin feedback loop from hell, like a broken record that wouldn’t stop. I felt hopeless, broken, extreme anxiety, and honestly suicidal.

Never in my life had I ever had a suicidal thought so I knew these thoughts were not normal nor my own. It’s crazy to see how the mind can go when you are experiencing extreme stress.

I’m glad I didn’t end my life that day because I’m here connecting with you right now. I’m hoping I can make a small contribution to your epic healing journey. If your feeling like this to I urge you to take a breath and say it’s going to be alright. Many people are overcoming their IBD’s and living amazing lives. If they can do it then so can I. My case was labelled as severe and yet I’ve met people that were worse off and still found their way back to great health.

The GUT Ninja

Jay aka "The Gut Ninja" Health Hacker trying to pay it forward. I'm a dude whose life was flipped upside down diagnosed with severe Crohns-Colitis, and R. Arthritis. I lost almost 60lbs in less than a year. I felt bad for myself for a few months then I made a decision that I was going to beat this death sentence. I went on a mission to study "remission" what things other people did to improve their Gut troubles and live normal lives. I turned myself into a walking Frankenstein and through lots of trial and error I was able to achieve remission. I've been med free flare up free for 10+ years. My mission is to help other people overcome autoimmune disease.
