IBD fun fact #3: The underlying problem with Crohns and Colitis is that theyre auto-immune diseases. The immune system confuses good bacteria with bad bacteria in the digestive system. It attacks the good bacteria, sending a mass of white blood cells to the cite which is what causes infection and inflammation in the digestive system. Since its attacking the good bacteria it keeps building up making the inflammation worse as time goes on. Auto-immune system suppressors and anti-inflammatories are used to help keep everything in check...but unlucky for us, that doesnt always work. So if youre asking yourself, the answer is yes, the only thing tough enough to kick my ass is me. #HappyCanadianIBDAwarenessMonth #findacure
