Crohn's Disease Crohn's disease usually begins in young people and tends to involve the end of the small intestine (ileum) in inflammatory swelling. The inflammatory activity mostly involves the small bowel wall and often becomes chronic with thickening of the wall and sometimes perforation. The colon and other parts of the digestive tract are sometimes involved. Crohn's disease affects males and females equally and appears to run in some families. About 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease have a blood relative with some form of inflammatory bowel disease.

Often, food choices are poor, eating patterns are irregular, nutrition is compromised. Energy is low and many patients become depressed.

An important task of the Crohn's patient, family, spouse and friends is to become well informed about the diet revision path we are advocating, confirm your right and ability to take self-responsible action and begin the process of constructive change. The inflamed digestive tract is injured and does not work well. You assume that your body is injured and must heal. Crohn's Disease and Food Allergy Drug Treatment is Disappointing
