Crohn's
Does anyone on here have crohn's? If so how dangerous is it smoke? I find having a cig helps me with stress but am I putting my crohns at risk?
You should NEVER smoke if you have crohns, it'll really worsen your crohns!
It would be a lot better to find other ways to relieve your stress. Have you ever tried meditation? It can really help to ease stress and organise your thoughts. Cutting down on sugar and taking some supplementary probiotics would also help with your condition, but definitely, try your best not to smoke.
Smoking is a pretty good way of making your Crohns an awful lot worse - as I understand it, smoking makes the risk of relapse much higher, the severity of relapse much worse, the disease harder to control even with stronger (read : more side effects) immunosuppresants, and you're more likely to need surgery, etc. It's just all round just such a terrible idea.
