My son was diagnosed with celiac and Crohn’s disease in 2024 and our lives changed overnight. They are both chronic conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, but they differ significantly in their causes and manifestations. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The exact cause of Crohn’s is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. In contrast, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. When individuals consume gluten, their immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine. The primary treatment for celiac is a gluten-free nutrition plan. Our goal as a family is to live life to the fullest. Living in fear isn’t an option! You will find resources on this page where you can learn valuable information and connect with others.
