What Exactly Is Chron's Disease?

Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which involves ongoing (chronic) inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's-related inflammation usually affects the intestines, but may occur anywhere from the mouth to the end of the rectum (anus).
Chron's Disease can not be cured, only treated. There is no known cure yet. You develope ulcers in your intestines, or where ever it is that you have the disease. Chron's is NOT contagious, nor is at an STD. It can not be passed from person to person. It is a genetic illness.
Pills are taken to lower inflammation, and also enemia if you have it. It's a rather painful condition. It causes a lot of pain, weight gain, and swollen stomach. You can't eat certain things, so your diet has to be changed... &, I am a seventeen year old living with Chron's Disease.
