Long term Crohn’s patient

Hi everyone, my name is Terry and I was diagnosed 42 years ago with Crohn’s disease. I have had 5 abdominal surgeries since 1980. I’ve tried so many medications over the years but I’m glad to say I have been in remission for a couple years now. I’m currently on Humira. I’m thinking about stopping it though and manage with diet. I like to talk with others that have the same issues I have and I’m not shy so you can ask me anything.
