You know that's what crohn's and UC is about - that's why no one talks about it, and why no one knows much about it. No one wants to talk about it - so there's not much awareness. Why? It's involves pooping and alot of farting. And running to the bathroom.
Especially for women - we are viewed as delicate - we don't fart. Right? So how do we talk about this, how do we excuse ourselves so we can fart in private? Beats me, I gave up - I just fart when I have to. Too bad. And I look delicate, slim, tiny. But boy can I fart. ask my husband.
Maybe when our uptight society can finally talk about bodily functions, diseases like this won't be so 'embarrassing'. Beause that's what it comes down to - it's embarrassing. It's killing us, but we're embarrassed.
I don't see commercials for Crohn's, but I see plenty for viagra and other 'erectile dysfunction' drugs. We can talk about penis dysfunction, but not bowel dysfunction.
Why can't we talk about poop? It's normal, we all do it. Everyone.
