I've had this bubbling sensation under my left front rib cage whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for a few days now. It also hurts when I do any kind of physical activity. I'm just wondering if this is something I should be seriously worried about.

Crohn's disease is a lifelong, chronic condition, not curable, but manageable through medication and potentially surgery. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing complications, aiming for remission, not a cure. Medication is the primary treatment, but surgery may be necessary for complications like bowel obstructions or strictures. Crohn's is not similar to cancer, though complications like colon cancer may require monitoring

I've been dealing with pancreatitis and the stress from my personal life is really getting to me. I'm wondering if there's any way I can still have a drink now and then?
Alcohol consumption should be avoided completely if you have pancreatitis, as it can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being by abstaining from alcohol. Instead, focus on managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms and seeking support from healthcare professionals or counselors.
