Can you tell me what Chrons disease is? Is it a hereditary diesease? What's the effects of this disease?

Chorns disease is a chronic condition of the intestines. It can be deadly if not properly treated. There are several different forms of it so make sure a specialist is seen over and over and over. The most severe part of the disease is death. A lot of time the patient ends up with a colostomy *spelling* bag because Part of the intestine/rectum must be removed. They will have to carry around this bag attached to their stomach for the rest of their life with their waste. But also alot of patients who get the colostomy do not need it! This is why you MUST see a specialist. Several forms can be treated. I would suggest seeing 3-8 different specialist just to be sure! The colostomy is an over all cure for it but a lot of cases can be cured without having to go through this surgery.
