'One of the main things I found out is that exercise in any form can ease some symptoms. Some other surprising benefits: It helped me recover from osteoporosis and anemia.' How exercise helps some manage Crohn's disease:
necessary to function at its optimal level, including calcium and iron. Missing key nutrients means that I regularly experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and weakness. I took medication and supplements, but the disease kept progressing. I began researching complementary practices, things that I could control that may help improve my wellbeing.
I knew, given my relationship with activity, that I would need some accountability factor, so I joined a gym. I figured taking some cardio classes would be enough, but after taking a tour, I realized I wanted to focus more on strength through weightlifting, so I signed up for personal training. It was love at first lift! I started out with the lowest weights, and the ability to work against some resistance feels as though I’m also challenging all the pain and anxiety in my life.
Ever since I’ve gone that route, I’ve gotten so much stronger and healthier. I struggle with having a lack of appetite, and weightlifting helps me induce it. Some other surprising benefits: It helped me recover from osteoporosis and anemia. I also attended retreats for Girls with Guts, an organization that supports women with IBD, where I’ve tried activities such as ziplining, archery, and axe throwing. It was at these events that I met the most amazing people. Even an introvert such as myself appreciates the deep connections I made when I chose to do the unexpected.
