Are Altered Bowel Movements And Increased Weight Gain Symptoms Of Crohn S Disease?
Does my husband have Crohn s disease? He has sudden urges to go, but has accident before he gets there. After 5 years of marriage, he tells me he s had this problem all his life, used to be spanked for it. I think it could be dairy or sugar or sulfites... He doesn t exercise; weighs 250 or so. Recently had a colonoscopy where they removed a couple non-cancerous pollips, by a gastrointestonal doctor. Help?
