What is Crohn’s disease?

  Have you ever heard of Crohn’s disease? It is a digestive disease that is considered by gastroenterologists to be crippling. If you keep eating food stored in the refrigerator and have frequent symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, you should be careful. Because Crohn’s disease rots the intestines and causes intestinal obstruction, some people have undergone several intestinal resections without discovering the source of the disease is Crohn’s disease. However, experts pointed out that Crohn’s disease is a controllable disease, provided that it can be diagnosed early and reasonable treatment.  The love of food in the refrigerator can cause Crohn’s disease.  Crohn’s disease has increased more than 15 times in 10 years. For now, the cause of inflammatory bowel disease is not very clear, on the one hand, there may be a family history, on the other hand, there may be a relationship with food allergies.  ”In foreign countries, they think that there are some bacteria in the refrigerator, and after eating the food put in the refrigerator, the flora of our intestines changed, and may also develop the disease as a result.” He pointed out that the food put into the refrigerator, although not spoiled, but the bacteria will grow on it, generally after eating can affect the intestinal flora, resulting in micro-inflammatory manifestations of the intestinal tract. Therefore, some people like to store food in the refrigerator and then eat it slowly, which is unhealthy. Probiotic supplementation will not prevent Crohn’s disease either. The probiotics we drink may not grow in our intestinal tract at all, but only to mediate, not to fundamentally change our environment. Nowadays, there is a method of fecal transplantation, which extracts healthy fecal flora and implants it into the patient’s intestine at once to change the patient’s intestinal environment. However, the real effect has to be observed for a long time.  It is understood that inflammatory bowel disease is a disease that causes inflammation or ulceration of the intestine, usually caused by abnormalities in the body’s immunity, mainly including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Professor Hu Pinjin, head of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Group of the Chinese Medical Association and chief expert of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the Sixth Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out at the World Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day event that the total number of inflammatory bowel disease cases in China in the past 10 years is about 350,000, of which the number of Crohn’s disease patients has increased even more than 15 times.  The majority of Crohn’s patients’ disease is manageable and has no significant impact on their lives if it is well controlled. Crohn’s disease leads to rotten intestines, intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation and abscesses, which have to be removed surgically, affecting the function of the intestine and causing loss of normal physiological functions of the body, which is disabling. Many Crohn’s patients are misdiagnosed as having appendicitis and have their appendixes removed.  Nine out of ten intestinal obstructions are caused by Crohn’s disease, and colonoscopy makes it impossible to hide.
