Can Crohn's Disease Effect Other Parts Of The Body?

By: Home | Health-and-Fitness


A big issue for people that have Crohn's disease is "can Crohn's disease effect other parts of the body?"

Crohn's Disease is a disease that can affect any part of the G.I. Tract. If you have been diagnosed with Crohn's you probably already know this. Crohn's can also lead to further complications as the disease progresses. But do not get scared. The fact of the matter is Crohn's is an auto immune disorder, which means the body is actually attacking itself because it thinks it has been infected.

Crohn's can lead up to colon cancer and this is a result of malnutrition, stress and other variables. Keep in mind however Colon Cancer can strike anyone, in fact cancer can hit anyone no matter what age or how healthy you are. Just look at Lance Armstrong, if you don't already know he beat cancer and won the tour de france several years running, as part of his mission in fighting against cancer.

So the truth is, YES, Crohn's disease can effect other parts of the body. Should you be very worried if this has not already happened? I would say, no. Once you have been diagnosed with Crohn's you need to follow your specialist's instructions for the most part. There are various drugs on the market that can put you in remission. Remission is when you don't have any symptoms of Crohn's disease and for many people; some people will even forget they have the disease all together. Remission can last anywhere from a week to a couple years. So the key is to really become your own doctor. Listen to your body and try other things.

Doctors are trained to basically just hand you a prescription. Sadly enough for something like Crohn's disease there is not enough evidence available to back up cures, and if you think about it logically why would pharmaceutical companies want to make a cure anyways. They make thousands of dollars feeding patients with crohn's the drugs you take everyday and will have to take for most of your life. Now this does not mean I'm bashing the drug industry all together. But I know for a fact there are people everyday that rid them selves of disease. In fact I know individuals that have cured there crohn's disease to the astonishment of doctors. It's actually really funny when you go to the Doctor's office one day and your specialist and they don't seem to give you an answer for how you have been healed. Secretly, I think they knew all along it was possible, but then they don't research in depth how the individual has been cured, or follow anything like that. Kind of weird.

Drugs keep you going but will not cure you. Learning your body and taking alternate methods to healing will heal your intestinal lining and if not cure you or at least improve your quality of life.
