Probably not a whimp. The inflammation is the typical cause of the pain which involves swelling of the intestines. Blockage can also cause pain.
Boswellia and Tumeric are good herbal anti-inflammatories, which have little, if any, side effects. So is Cinnamon and Honey.
Make sure you take plenty of nutritional supplements as they are not absorbed as well with this disease.
Best wishes on getting your remission.

You are not a wimp, you have a medical condition. My sister-in-law who is 73 years old has had this for years. It has been controlled with medication and the proper diet. Seek PROPER medical advice starting with your regular physician.

Jenn, I have two sons who have been diagnosed with Chrones. You truly are not a whimp, the pain is overwhelming at times . I will not go into detail about the problems my sons have endured, but please stay close to your gastoanterologist and your primary physcian. Stress can make the flare-ups more frequent.  A second opinion if your flare-ups get worse would be a good thing. God Bless!
