Crohn’s disease affects small intestine and colon in a person. In no way it is a communicable disease. It is basically an inflammatory bowel syndrome which causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This disease affects mostly intestines of the body. People who suffer from this disease experience fever, diarrhea, abdomen pain and weight loss.

For controlling this condition doctors prescribe medications, if a person is unable to recoup from medications doctor may recommend surgery to remove some inflammable part of the intestine.

My friend too suffered from Crohn’s disease but he is all right now but is still on medicines for the last ten years. Your boyfriend too has to take medicines for long. Mostly gastric diseases like Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis occur due to stress.

A person has to think positive in order to recoup form this disease. According to random researches, as of now there is no permanent cure for Crohn’s disease. It is 100% sure you won't catch this disease.

Hi!
Crohn’s disease has been determined non-communicable. To date, medical scientists still do not know what actually causes this disease. They believe an individual may contract it when the immune system has an unusual reaction to the bacteria naturally in the intestines. The existence of unnatural viruses or bacteria may also be a cause. There is evidence that the disease may run in families. If one family member has Crohn’s, there is a higher chance that another member will have it. Scientists also believe that smoking enhances the risk.
Presently, there is no cure for Crohn’s disease. There are treatments available to ease the symptoms, depending on the severity for the individual. Mild symptoms such as diarrhea may be reduced with over-the-counter medication. Physicians can prescribe medication to aid against inflammation, damaged tissue, and avoid other symptoms. For individuals with severe symptoms, surgery may be necessary. Sadly, after surgery, Crohn’s disease can still reoccur.
