DESCRIPTION:

May is Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Month in Australia. The same event is observed in Canada each November.

Crohn’s disease can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus but most commonly affects the small intestine and/or the colon. There may be areas of healthy intestine between areas of diseased intestine. Within a diseased section, Crohn’s disease can affect all layers of the intestinal wall. This can lead to the development of complications that are specific to this condition:

Strictures (intestinal obstruction or narrowing of the intestinal wall)

Abscesses (boils) and skin tags (swollen lumps or ‘flaps’ of thickened skin occurring just outside the anus)

Fistulae (abnormal channels connecting different loops of intestine to itself or to other body organs)

Fissures (ulcerated tears or cracks in the lining of the anal canal) malabsorption and malnutrition

Sometimes surgery is required to abate Crohn's Disease, but often simple changes to diet can alleviate the problem. This month is about raising awareness of the disease and what people can do to mitigate the affects and improve the quality of their lives.
