Having Crohn's disease can really suck — but being in a relationship with someone who has Crohn's can be equally challenging. So I asked briancristiano, rockstar roommate and husband extraordinaire, to write a post for Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week about what it's like living and being in a relationship with someone who has Crohn's. "I'm not a writer," he said. And then he wrote a beautiful, moving, helpful, tear-jerking [2,500 word] essay that I am so honored and excited to get to share with the world today on Ali On The Run. (On his birthday, no less!) Thanks for sharing your story, Brian. Happy Birthday, ya crazy nut! #ibdaware #ibdawareness #crohns #bebold
