My article was published this morning….
Kind of excited. Hope my fellow Crohnnie/uc-ers like it! I got some help from ccfa.org, too! I worked with editor, Travis Saunders, a PhD student researching the relationship between sedentary time and chronic disease risk in children and youth. He is also a Certified Exercise Physiologist and competitive distance runner.
I had a hard time finding studies that were recent, dealing with the impact of exercise on Crohn’s and Colitis. Research that I found shows that it does help, and I would love to hear from readers who have some things to add, or if there are problems associated with exercise and IBD.
Here is the link, and please comment, share, tweet it!!!
Obesity Panacea is an awesome blog, and I am trying to help promote it. Thanks!

Very interesting article! Congratulations! I just recently wrote about something similar on my blog. I’m an exercise addict and it’s been really tough on me since I’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s. I was excited to see this article since fitness is such a part of my life.

Katy, Thanks! I am so happy you wrote, and appreciate where you’re coming from….exercise addict, especially! I need to really exercise every day. Walking really helps with my arthritis (also a Crohn’s-colitis byproduct I’m afraid).
Let’s keep in touch, and share things, like progress, activity, support. I am looking for others’ comments on how exercise helps….do my OWN study, and make it current
Can you post your story? If you feel comfortable! Happy trails…
Katy
Absolutely! I’d be happy to! Where would you like me to do so?

Right here would be great, or, if you’d prefer, you can do a guest post on my blog
