You never truly know someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes

[Jeffrey Roberts]

What's the expression, "You never truly know someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes". I wasn't clear if my Crohn's was flaring or what was going on, but I had been experiencing a very different set of symptoms over the last 10 weeks. I considered myself IBS-D; however, I was tending to IBS-C over the last 10 weeks. Turns out my Crohn's is flaring mildly; however, it doesn't explain the IBS-C - which is simply IBS-C on top of Crohn's vs. my usual IBS-D on top of Crohn's. So now I have a complete appreciation for IBS-C.... and it's rather awful.

I think that's why forums like this a so helpful , everyone here knows the horror of IBS and can be empathetic . Unless you have had this disease , you have no idea of it's consequences . Thanks for putting up this forum .
