I was diagnosed with crohns disease in my late teens. It never effected my drinking really, just had to take alot of pills. Now in my later 20's it's hurting ALOT more, they won't give me any pain meds because of my history of abuse...and I'm visiting the toilet more than 10 times a day.

to the point...I hate to eat. I hate to have to put food in my mouth because I know what it will feel like before it comes out. Back when I was drinking I wouldn't eat, I guess I just survived off all the calories from alcohol and the mix of substances I was abusing. I'm down to 140 again now, as a 6'1 male. I look terrible, I am a skeleton. My GI has me drinking 4-5 500 calorie ensure's a day but they aren't putting pounds on me, and they make me puke. Otherwise he doesn't seem to care. If I don't get it up I have to go into the hospital and get a gastric tube put down my nose to get me nourishment.

I'm just so f****** frustrated. I got sober and clean and all these problems just seem to get worse. I thought things were supposed to get better when I got sober. Instead everything is falling apart, especially my body.

I just don't want to eat. I don't want to see food, smell food, taste, chew, or otherwise have anything to do with it. I can't seem to get any help with my dr's on this. I'm just getting so F****** mad these days.....
