There was actually a study recently published that concluded that Crohn's is caused by Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis (MAP). https://j.ideasspread.org/index.php/mhs/article/view/72/39
I would suggest everyone at least do a bit of reading into this, Anti Map Antibiotic Therapy (AMAT), and the Crohn's MAP vaccine which is potentially going to be a cure for Crohns if it gets approved (http://crohnsmapvaccine.com/). Then, if you're interested, ask your GI about it, or find one who is willing to give it a try.
Most other treatments for Crohn's are just dealing with the symptoms rather than the cause. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but treating Crohn's symptoms is big money for big pharma. They're always coming out with new expensive (patented) treatments that don't treat the cause so they can keep that money rolling in.
When I saw the title of the post I knew this would be about someone with Crohn's. I have it too, and my doctor wanted to do a PillCam, but luckily he decided to do an abdominal MRI first to make sure there weren't any strictures narrow enough to prevent the pill from passing through. After the MRI the doc decided it was too risky, and went for a traditional colonoscopy instead.
I hope they find a way to get yours out without resorting to major surgery. Good luck! Crohn's sucks enough without problems like this to deal with. Hopefully the Crohn's MAP vaccine will be approved soon and we can all put this behind us.:)
Of course that would make it *way* too easy for our crappy Australian Government to block all porn off completely... I don't think that would be so great!
They should force porn sites to use the.porn TLD. It would make filtering a lot easier, and you put options in to search engines to ignore them if you want. Just an idea...
