I don't want your opinions, I want to know if there are any studies?

I have Crohns disease and have had it for over 20 years and i also do long distance running,,, if your having a flare up you might want to take it easy and you can become fatigued easily,, they say the Nicotine Patch helps with ulcerative colitus, (Very bad for Crohns though)ask your doctor first..some times running with a light pad helps with any possible accidents and think out ;your route so you know where all the bathrooms are,, ie MacDonolds. Wendys etc..

I have a friend with that condition, she's had it for several years now, and she works out regularly and loves to run. And for the most part, she really has it under control now.

I would say "go with the flow" no pun intended. Some days, I can't walk. Other days, well? Whether or not it creates further problems I'm sure you'll know.

My wife has UC, and she has no problem while running or exercising. She does have to be cautious when in a flare because it is easy to get dehydrated.
