Just found out I have Chrones
I am a 73 year old woman who was just recently diagnosed with Chrones disease. Still learning about it and learning what I can eat and what times to eat so I don't get far from the bathroom if needed
Welcome to the community,
. While I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis, I'm glad that you found our community here. I hope that it can be a source of support and information. Here are a couple of articles that I wanted to share with you from one of our advocates who put together some helpful hints for those newly diagnosed, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/hints-newly-diagnosed, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/hints-newly-diagnosed-2. Please know that we are here for you and reach out if you have any questions, need to vent, or could use some support. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member) 
The specialist that told me I had Chrons about 10 years ago. Has since has cancer of the bowels herself and left me with no one to take her place.
Hi
. I just responded to you in another string, but saw this post and want to note that people here understand how hard it can be to replace a doctor. I hope what I previously shared about finding a new doctor helps and I also want to share the hope that a new doctor could be a benefit - a new set of eyes to look at your condition and offer ideas to help control it. Wishing you the best. Richard (Team Member)
