A family history of either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will increase your risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers have found that if a twin has Crohn’s disease, there is a 50 percent chance the other twin will also develop the condition. However, for ulcerative colitis, this figure drops to a 6 percent chance.
This disease is like a cancer could never be cured unless they removed the colon!!!
Unfortunately, that just may be all too true. It is a devastating disease on both the person suffering with it and the family as well.
