There is a site you can read a little about it. MD Web.

| It is actually called Crohn's Disease, and does tend to run in families. Quote: |
The most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, arthritis, skin problems, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. Children with Crohn’s disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth. The range and severity of symptoms varies.

| I think you mean an endoscopy.
That is when they take a camera and insert it and look at your intestines to see what condition they are in. This would be one way to diagnose or rule out Crohn's Disease. | |
