Not only is it a disease that afflicts infants and newborns, it also can affect adults. Crohn’s disease can be difficult to diagnose since it is a chronic illness and is not usually treated until complications occur. It can affect all areas of the body including the digestive system, liver, and the endocrine system.
There is a cure, but it is expensive and requires medical care. Most of the time the condition is passed on from mother to child. However, in rare cases, a person can get it from another individual (and, as a result, the disease can manifest in other parts of their body — such as the stomach). The best way to prevent your children from getting the disease is to be aware of it in the first place. This is especially true for parents who are first-time parents.
The first sign of Crohn’s disease is abdominal pain. It’s usually the result of an increased amount of gas in the intestines. Once the inflammation subsides, Crohn’s is usually diagnosed.
Like all autoimmune diseases, Crohn’s disease is characterized by symptoms that can include nausea, vomiting, cramps, and fever. In the case of Crohns, the symptoms can occur in any part of the stomach, but the most common areas for your child to develop Crohns, according to the Mayo Clinic, are the third and fourth portions of the small bowel.
If you’ve been reading this blog for any period of time, you know that I’ve been a Crohn’s patient for over a decade. In fact, the first time I ever saw a doctor was because of Crohns and I’m still a patient today. Although the symptoms of Crohn’s can mimic other ailments that are more common, they are also typically very similar to other gastrointestinal problems like Crohns.
Crohns is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, pain, and inflammation of the lining of the small intestine, which can lead to malabsorption (dumping food in the stomach) and diarrhea. The Mayo Clinic says that it’s not clear that Crohns is an actual disease. However, it’s clear that the disease affects many people, and there are new treatments (like medications) that may help.
Crohns disease can also be treated with medication. The Mayo Clinic says that there are new and improved drugs for the disease, and some people are getting better with medications that use small pieces of the intestinal lining to prevent the disease from recurring. The Mayo Clinic warns that Crohns disease is a disease that is different from the kind that is commonly described in the popular media.
Crohns disease doesn’t have a cure, but its treatment can be effective. Mayo Clinic says that there are treatments that can help, and there are new medications that can help.
Mayo Clinic has been working with a company called Celgene, whose CEO Dr. David Shoffner just spoke about the company and how it treats Crohn’s. It’s like a drug company that’s trying to get a drug approved by the FDA. The company is also working on a new drug called Nisshin, which uses a different form of the same drug to treat Crohn’s disease.
Crohns is a painful digestive disease that can affect anyone. But the fact that you can be treated with a new drug is a good sign, and since Crohns has now reached a point where the cure is more effective than the disease, it makes sense that a drug company would be working on a drug that works. I can’t wait for the day when I can walk into an ER and not have to worry about having the worst symptoms ever.
