Just to clarify the use of symptoms to diagnose inflammatory bowel conditions. You know that you have passed from Ulcerative Colitis into Crohn’s when in addition to urgent diarrhea and blood in your stool- you find mucus in your stool. The mucus represents your body’s last ditch effort to protect you from your stomach acids devouring your intestines/colon. This means you are losing the battle fast. Next stop...surgery. Don’t fiddle around, you gotta get this fixed!
I want to emphasize that Crohn’s is not a disease and neither are any of the other supposed inflammatory bowel diseases.
They are manmade conditions. We have done this to ourselves. The supposition is that these are auto-immune diseases where the immune system for some unknown reason attacks our GI tract. Why would it do that? This is nothing other than an unproven theory. Once you receive that diagnosis we get directed down the wrong road of immuno-suppressive meds. Does that sound right to you?
Your health is your responsibility. You need to become an advocate for yourself. Do your homework. Get properly informed. Look at alternatives. Play a role in the decision-making process. There is a Crohn’s Disease cure. It is incumbent upon you to find it.
