Does being very stressed out and overwhelmed really cause Crohn's to get worse?

  1. Hi ,
    Although many people have different triggers, stress can certainly be one. Here is an article that you may be able to relate to; https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/the-stress-mess/. We are so sorry that this is happening!

  2. I think so. I have also talked to others who suggest it might. I don't think that's the only factor. I think there are many other elements that contribute to issues. You can be calm as a lake and still have issues. But, all other things being equal, stress can exacerbate what is already going on.

    Best,

  3. Amen
