I suffer from Crohn’s and Alopecia Universalis. Does anyone know anyone else in the same boat. It seems god has given me 2 of the worst things he could have chosen. My doctor doesn’t seem to think there is a link, or he isn’t interested more like. What do yous think?

I have both. Recently diagnosed with small bowel crohns. AU for 3 years now. Both have an autoimmune component, so whilst no link may be established via research at the moment, it is common that those of us with one autoimmune condition are higher risk for another. x I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time just now. x
