Training with Colitis or Crohns

I know this was posted a while ago but I was diagnosed with moderate to severe Crohn’s 4 years ago (I was 20 then) and is why I started cycling. I am on Humira and it helps some. I have found, like others here, that when I’m most consistent I feel my best. I do have to be careful with recovery drinks and what I eat after my workouts. I have found that I need more recovery time than what’s prescribed. I try to take a week off completely every month or two. I always come back stronger than where I left off, and I can’t help but think it’s due to giving my body (and gut) time to rest and heal.
