Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What part of the body is affected by Crohn's Disease?

Answer: Any part of the gastrointestinal tract

Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the body's GI tract, from the mouth to the anus.

2. What are some of the symptoms of Crohn's Disease?

Answer: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss

Crohn's Disease can also cause anemia, vitamin deficiencies, arthritis and certain disorders of the eye.

3. Crohn's Disease causes a significantly shortened lifespan in most patients.

Answer: False

Crohn's Disease is a chronic disease, and most people who have Crohn's Disease can expect periods of remission and periods of a flare. However, the vast majority of people with Crohn's Disease live a normal life span.

4. How is Crohn's Disease diagnosed?

Answer: A combination of tests

There is no one definitive tool used to diagnose Crohn's Disease. A colonoscopy is most successful, but can still miss up to 30% of Crohn's cases. Blood work can show inflammation in the body and vitamin deficiencies that are common in Crohn's. Imaging such as x-rays, MRIs and endoscopies can show areas of inflammation that a colonoscopy can't see.

5. A person with Crohn's Disease can never eat which of the following?

Answer: It depends on the person

Every person has different trigger foods. Most doctors recommend a low-fiber diet during a flare.

6. Those living in underdeveloped countries are at a greater risk of having Crohn's disease.

Answer: False

Crohn's disease is much more common in industrialized parts of the world. Scientists credit this to an increased diet of animal protein, milk protein and fatty acids.

7. What is the last resort for treatment in the most severe cases of Crohn's Disease?

Answer: Surgery

In its most serious form, Crohn's Disease may require patients to undergo multiple surgeries in order to remove diseased portions of the intestine. This is not a cure, however, and often the disease reappears in different parts of the GI tract.

8. What causes Crohn's Disease?

Answer: An auto-immune reaction

Crohn's Disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells in the digestive tract, causing inflammation and pain.

9. What forms of alternative medicine can also help with Crohn's symptoms?

Answer: Acupuncture

Acupuncture is widely used in Asia as a treatment for Crohn's Disease. It is starting to become more popular in the US, along with other treatments.
