[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 496227, member: 6546"] A co-worker of mine struggled with Crohns... Here's what I learned: It's genetic. So if your sister has it - odds are good that Matt has it as well. The inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive system - from the lips to the tail end. My co-worker was on a regimen of streroids - which seemed to help her immensely with the Crohns...but also kept her constantly "amped up". However, given the choice being "amped up" and "flare up" - she'd choose the "amped up" any day. I don't remember her being able to control flare-ups with food...other than constantly nibbling small amounts during the day to avoid becoming "empty". It's a tough, tough condition to live with... I hope that if Matt really does have Crohns, they are able to get it under control for him quickly... [/QUOTE]
