EPT
However, I distinctly recall at least two TL.netters who posted about having Crohn's. I cannot for the life of me, remember who they are.
That is why I am writing this blog. I'm hoping that one way or another, the information here will find the TL.netters who have this disease. Alternatively, if you know anyone who has Crohn's and you think this may help them, please forward them the link. I have absolutely no vested interest in the site I am about to link you to.

I will let the author speak for himself:
As some of you may know, at the age of 12, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, an incurable, inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. After having several devastating flare-ups, I went on a quest to do anything I could to treat my disease by experimenting with numerous alternative and experimental therapies and diets (including intentionally infecting myself with parasitic worms).
When I realized that the information I had built up from this quest could heal other patients, I went on another quest: to meet as many patients as I possibly could and share the information I had learned with them. But I knew there were tons of other patients around the world who had gone through their own journeys and had extremely valuable information to share themselves. And by sharing it, they could heal more patients. And so I went on a new quest: to make it possible for Crohn's & Colitis patients around the world to share and learn from one another.
Crohnology is that quest. Crohnology is a place for people with Crohn's & Colitis to share the extremely valuable information each has accumulated on their journey to better health. And in turn, heal others by informing them of treatments that work.

I have no way of knowing whether this site will help a fellow user here, but I had to share this information in whatever way I could. I had the links open for a good 8 hours, unable to close it!
So TL.netter with Crohn's disease, I don't know who you are, but I hope that you're handling the ailment in stride, and I hope the this information may help you in whatever little way possible.
