Default What is crohns and remicade?

Hey, all.

i'm not really sure where to post this, but my good friend, let's call him Mark, apparently has this thing called Crohns. I mean, we were hanging around in my room yesterday and he just told me that it means that he has to use the bathroom alot, and I don't really get it. What the hell is this Crohn's thing? What is Remicade? And why is he telling me that it might not work?

I'm so confused, does anybody have any answers?

crohns disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. also autoimmune. to sum up some symptoms there is having to go to the bathroom a lot, stomach pains, anemia, and malnutrition but here is a detailed reference: CCFA.org: About Crohn's Disease and remicade is an infusion that people get every 6-8 weeks. it doesn't work for everyone because everyone's body reacts differently to medicines. here is a site about it. REMICADE® (infliximab) Biologic Treatment

hope i helped!
