What is chrones disease and who suffers from it?!
Question: Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus; as a result, the symptoms of Crohn's disease vary among afflicted individuals. The main gastrointestinal symptoms are abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody) or constipation, vomiting and weight loss. Crohn's disease can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis, and inflammation of the eye. The general medical community believes it is an autoimmune disease that is genetically linked. The condition occurs when the immune system contributes to damage of the gastrointestinal tract by causing inflammation.
The real cause of Chrone's disease is now believed to be caused by parasites. About 60% of All Americans have parasites that are causing issues from within their intestines. Much of it goes ignored because the symptoms are not bothersome to the individual enough to realize there is a problem.
When people have Chrone's disease and given nutritional herbs that address the parasite problem, the symptoms of Chrone's can disappear.
Parasites are difficult to diagnose because many of the symptoms emulate other ailments and many misdiagnoses happens because of this problem.
I have found a great source of nutrients that really work on this problem. It takes a few weeks to a few months to clear the body of these criters, but when they are gone, the symptoms of Chrone's go away, typically.
Go to: www.healthline.cc (not .com --- bad web site) and order the following:
Paracidin
Parastat
Both of these products will kill the parasites in various parts of the body. I would also suggest a colon cleanse once the symptoms have gone.
I suggest taking 6 to 12 of each of these products per day for 1 to 2 months. Since the products are not drugs, but only herbs in complexes that contain cofactors, there should not be any side effects as a result.
good luck to you

it's Crohn's disease which is in the bowel.
Crohn's disease is a type of autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease that usually affects younger adults between the ages of 20-40. It can affect any part of the gut, and can cause ulcers, bleeding, and fistulas (abnormal tracts between different parts of the bowel). It can also affect organs outside of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the eyes, joints, and skin.
People affected by Crohn's can get chronic symptoms of diarrhea (especially with blood), fevers, abdominal pains, and weight loss.
hi, I am a crohn's survivor since the age of 12.
Here is the information to answer your questions:
Crohn's disease is a chronic (ongoing) disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although it can involve any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon.
Persistent diarrhea (loose, watery, or frequent bowel movements), crampy abdominal pain, fever, and, at times, rectal bleeding: These are the hallmark symptoms of Crohn's disease, but they vary from person to person and may change over time. Loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss also may occur. However, the disease is not always limited to the GI tract; it can also affect the joints, eyes, skin, and liver. Fatigue is another common complaint. Children who have Crohn's disease may suffer delayed growth and sexual development.
Some patients may develop tears (fissures) in the lining of the anus, which may cause pain and bleeding, especially during bowel movements. Inflammation may also cause a fistula to develop. A fistula is a tunnel that leads from one loop of intestine to another, or that connects the intestine to the bladder, vagina, or skin. Fistulas occur most commonly around the anal area. If this complication arises, you may notice drainage of mucus, pus, or stool from this opening.
Symptoms may range from mild to severe. Because Crohn's is a chronic disease, patients will go through periods in which the disease flares up, is active, and causes symptoms. These episodes are followed by times of remission -- periods in which symptoms disappear or decrease and good health returns. In general, though, people with Crohn's disease lead full, active, and productive lives.
It is estimated that as many as one million Americans have IBD -- with that number evenly split between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Males and females appear to be affected equally. Crohn's disease may occur in people of all ages, but it is primarily a disease of adolescents and young adults, affecting mainly those between 15 and 35. However, Crohn's disease can also occur in people who are 70 or older and in young children as well. In fact, 10 percent of those affected -- or an estimated 100,000 -- are youngsters under the age of 18.
For more information, check out the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America website. They have a live chat along w/a hotline that is run by healthcare professionals M- F 9 am - 5 pm (EST).
In order to stay in remission you have to take medications such as Entocort, Remicade or Humira, 6MP, or Imuran, keep your GI appts., eat healthy, avoid drinking and smoking, and if you are a female, avoid taking any hormonal contraception because ppl with IBD who flare tend to throw clots. Their blood gets sticky when inflammation is present and when you add birth control to the mix, it increases your chance to develop a DVT, PE, or stroke. I learned this from the doctors after I had my stroke at age 37. I wasn't on any birth control since I use NFP which is safer for female crohnies b/c it doesn't interact w/the meds I take for CD.
hope this helps out.
i think it's like rheumatoid arthritis and as far as i know any one can get it but I'm not sure.
