Crohn's Ups Risk of Intestinal Cancer

Health News Article | Reuters.com: "Crohn's Ups Risk of Intestinal Cancer" maybe... at least according to a new report but even it concedes that this is based on people with Crohn's who have been treated with all natures of different treatments (back to the 1940s)

Of course, my question without looking here is that seeing as how the small bowel is not that readily visualized, could it not be that people with Crohn's are more likely to get it noticed just because of a higher freq. of imaging of that area?

Giggle at the serial commenter. Fun? Intestinal cancer is definitely fun. Yeah, yeah I know what you mean.

Hmm don't know about the osteoporosis, perhaps because autoimmune stuff leads you to eat crappily because you feel gross?

No way. I would never suggest such a thing anymore than I would suggest that milkshakes and cheese sandwiches were not the food of champs.
