Can Young Children have Crohn's Disease?

Crohn’s disease is usually diagnosed in young adults, and into older ages. What is Not mentioned in barely any articles is that most Doctors often don’t diagnose Young children with Crohn’s Disease, only because they do not know enough information themselves to make a diagnosis-why is this? Why is it that there are short little blurbs in their medical text books about Crohn’s Disease, but have hundreds of pages about Colon Cancer-Crohn’s Disease, often times can turn into Colon Cancer if not treated soon enough, or properly.


It is hard enough on a grown adult to have to deal with the chaos Crohn’s Disease brings to their lives. The kinds of obstacles that make the already hard job of simply growing up for kids, is made that much harder having to deal with a life of pain.

Surrendering to Pain

Writing about my journey with Crohn’s Disease may seem more like a rant with plenty of complaints, rude remarks, and maybe a little bit of humor in the mix of it all.
I know that I am able to speak for many others out there when I say they use humor to joke about the serious things in life. That would be me. I often find myself making jokes about myself, laughing it off, and when being teased about having Crohn’s Disease I just giggle away as if it is not cutting me deep and affecting me.



About a year ago I thought to myself, and expressed to my family and friends that I was really in acceptance with my disease, and was not going to let Crohn’s rule my life.
