Singing voice affected by flare

Waiting on colonoscopy. In suspected flare
A symptom that has suprised me is the effect on singing voice.When i sing even moderately higher notes they are out of tune. My voice has always been one of my qualities. Does this pass when the flare passes,? Has anyone had experience of this

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak on this issue, but I can tell you that there are a couple of ways that IBD could impact the voice. One is that, if you have had any vomiting or GERD as part of the flare you are experiencing, it could impact your vocal cords. In addition, the inflammation from autoimmune conditions like IBD is systemic. It can impact just about every area of the body. It is possible that, if it turns out you have an autoimmune condition that the inflammation could be impacting your vocal cords or the joint in the throat (the cricoarytenoid joint). Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences and that you get some answers soon. Best, Richard (Team Member)
