Over the last few months I have lost about half a stone.
Today I have been needing the toilet but only a small amount of mucus is coming out. I have looked up weight loss and mucus and I found stuff about Crohn’s. I don’t understand, what is Crohn’s, what are the symptoms etc?

Also, I have been having mild hip pain for a few months even though I am only 18. Could this be related?

Thanks!

Im 15 and i really want to be a police officer when i’ve finished college. I looked at the requirements and it stated that crohn’s was ‘unsuitable’. I am now in remission and have been for about 8 months now. Is there a chance i could still join?

My partner suffers from IBS and cannot eat gluten or dairy products because of it. Also I have noticed he always seems to feel run down and unwell even though he has a relatively easy life with little stress. He suffers badly from mouth ulcers and constantly has a runny nose. A friend of mine who suffers from Crohn’s said these are all symptoms of the disease but could it be something else that I am missing?
