Crohn's Disease
Jack Shea
Crohn's disease causes inflammation of the digestive system. It is one of a group of diseases called inflammatory bowel disease. The disease can affect any area from the mouth to the anus. It often affects the lower part of the small intestine called the ileum.
Crohn's disease seems to run in some families. It can occur in people of all age groups but is most often diagnosed in young adults. Common symptoms are pain in the abdomen and diarrhea. Bleeding from the rectum, weight loss, joint pain, skin problems and fever may also occur. Children with the disease may have growth problems. Other problems can include intestinal blockage and malnutrition.
Treatment may include medicines, nutrition supplements, surgery or a combination of these options. Some people have long periods of remission, when they are free of symptoms.

Recently, medical science has discovered many medicinal uses for
nopal cactus. The mucilage and pectin that are extracted from the
fibers of the plant produce a thick syrup that helps to regulate and
reduce blood sugar and cholesterol. Nopal is known to reduce inflammation.
