Reply to "Brother just dx'd with Crohn's"

Well I was diagnosed with UC on the age of 17 in 2017, went on infliximab (remicade) for a few months which helped me a lot with my symptoms but had a very bad flare up a month later and ended up with a colectomy and now a JPouch ( im new here by the way)

Same situation with my sister but a little different who had UC but was later re diagnosed with Crohns (she got hers under control with prednisone)

And then we have my brother who was diagnosed with Chrons and has his under control with Humira. My mother has a form of IBS.

My grandfather had problems with his GI tract.

My uncle has UC and her daughter has Crohns

So a family issue and definetly a genetic one
