What is Crohn's disease?

So let’s say you’ve got chronic abdominal pain, and you have some um…. “difficulties with the restroom”. You’ve got pain, bloating, swelling, it’s hard “to go”, or you go all the time. Well, those are all the symptoms of IBS. But, wait…. Aren’t those the symptoms for Celiac Disease? Yes, again.

Oh, wait, you thought those were the symptoms for Crohn’s Disease?

Well, you are absolutely, positively CORRECT.

Confused yet?

The reality is that Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and quite a few other conditions all have very similar symptoms. To make matter’s worse, while there are tests for Celiac Disease and Crohn’s Disease, there are no tests for IBS.

So what’s a person to do?

Well, despite the confusion above, the answer is pretty simple. The reason the symptoms for these conditions is so similar is that they all have similar root causes—you are consuming something that your body doesn’t like and / or can’t digest.

There’s increasing evidence that gluten is one of the culprits behind these conditions, but let’s face it. Most of the food that is available today is chemically processed, refined and packaged to a point that our ancestors never experienced.

Maybe the reason so many people have so many gut-related problems is that we’ve never had so many processed foods available?

Well, that’s a point that’s beyond this blog (for now), but maybe something we can talk about in the near future.
