Crohn's is punishing. I hope Geerling's condition stops flaring up soon so he can get back to his life -- and I hope we can one day truly understand the pathology of IBDs so we can do something more effective to treat them.

Ulcerative Colitis, a close relative to Crohn's, is generally vanquished once you remove the large intestine.
