I was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease or Ulcerous colitis. What should I do?

I wish I had access to this platform when I first was diagnosed. I didn't know anything about the disease, and my doctor, who was a complete asshole, refused to give me time to explain. The only thing he said was, "Take these pills."

Here are my best bits of advice if you get diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I would read every FAQ and Blog post on this website. If you still feel lost and vulnerable, contact me, and I will try to be there as support. There are numerous things to do and not to do. Go through the big 4. Fast. Sleep well. Make sure you're in a good place mentally. 

I have spent the last ten years researching on my own. I listen to and read knowledgeable people like Dr. Ronda Patrick, David Sinclair, Andrew Huberman, and Ben Greenfield. I read Harvard Medical Schools newsletters. 

I also have ten years of experience. I have had two surgeries. Twice I went over two months without eating. I have been iron deficient but managed to get that under control. My stool samples have shown inflammation in my intestines and are now down to almost zero. I am always conscious of what I eat and how the food I eat affects me.

If you smoke, STOP! 

Read my blog posts. Read the FAQ. If you want my help, write to me, and I'll do my best to help. I have a 3-year-old daughter, and I'm running two companies. I may not always answer immediately, but I will do my best to help you. I have been in your shoes, and if there's any way I can help someone, I will do it.
