Nothing is
that debilitating if controlled by medication.......
Crohns and IBD are different in many folks and not eveyone is fortunate enough to have identified the right combination of meds to eliminate the majority of episodes. Over time some folks are bad enough to have had go thru surgery to remove the damaged areas of the intestinal/colon.
I am a parent of a child with Crohns. It's not an insignificant disease, even when managed thru meds. Flare-ups are debilitating, and she is not a football player.
Because McClain has Crohns, I wish him the best will all my heart. He sounds like a class guy.
