Please keep my brother in your thoughts and prayers. He had a perforated colon a few weeks ago and it's caused some red flags about his health. He is only 33 years old and his family doctor thinks he has either Crohn's Disease or possibly colon cancer.

He is still battling inflamation and infection in his small colon even after spending 5 nights at the hospital on multiply antibiotics and staying on those antibiotics for 2 weeks.

They are doing a colonoscopy tomorrow to take samples to see what is going on with him.

JM ate my post before.

I was just saying that I hope he doesn't have Crohn's, it's no fun but thankfully my husband has finally found relief in alternative treatment. I hope he gets positive answers.

I have a friend who has Crohn's and it's really a terrible thing. He also finds relief in alternative treatment. I hope your brother gets some answers soon and it's something that is easily treated. Saying a prayer for him now.

They took 8 biopsies this morning and he will get his results on Monday. The doctor is fairly certain he has Crohn's, but time will tell.

If he has Crohns and is interested in talking to my husband, I am sure he'd love to share his experience via email. Just let me know. Or I can relay to you what we have found that works.
