Clearly, your experience with the disease is limited.

Mine, however, is not. I know persons who, after multiple surgeries, have had practically all of their intestines removed by the age of 26 and 28. Do you think you can play football with no intestines? You can't absorb basic nutrients.

Although the treatments have improved, there is no cure. The disease is (as believed) essentially auto-immune by nature. Surely, as an RN, you realize that auto-immune suppression, which is one of the treatments, can lead to even more problems in the form of serious infection?

I'm sorry, but you obviously don't know what you're talking about. What's worse is that people may believe you - and that can be dangerous. Please refrain from making public statements that can be harmful to others.
