hi andrea, I am a female crohn’s pt. since age 12. Crohn’s disease can affect anywhere from the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, rectum, and anus. Mine started in the large bowel, then it was removed entirely and now I have it in the small bowel.
If you check out the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s site, it has the updated and most accurate information you are looking for: it explain what IBD is and isn’t, the difference between Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis, women’s issues, surgery, the latest treatments, as well as a live chat & hotline run by healthcare experts. There is also an open forum where you can post your questions to others who have crohn’s.
You will get more responses from that site than here as there are many and I do mean many, more folks who have Crohn’s and can relate to your questions. I hope you feel better soon.
Several theories exist about what causes Crohn’s disease, but none have been proven. The human immune system is made from cells and different proteins that protect people from infection. The most popular theory is that the body’s immune system reacts abnormally in people with Crohn’s disease, mistaking bacteria, foods, and other substances for being foreign. The immune system’s response is to attack these “invaders.” During this process, white blood cells accumulate in the lining of the intestines, producing chronic inflammation, which leads to ulcerations and bowel injury. you need to be under a DR, supervision, hope this help
