[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 282165, member: 179"] I find it odd that a doctor couldn't even suggest Chron's. It's much more common than you think. I have 2 family members with it, one having a total colostomy at age 16, the other not so severe. The one went to John Hopkins in Minneapolis at age 40 for an experimental treatment. She is now, 10 years later a college graduate, working and thriving from the treatment. No one would have ever thought that was possible. She still wears the bag and all, but can at least be a part of the world...not lying in a hospital bed most of the time. Kudos for the girl taking her own health in her hands. Maybe she'll teach a doctor or two something. Abbey [/QUOTE]
