Can H. pylori and crohns disease be similar my son was diagnosed with heliobactor pylori could it be crohns disease?
The symptoms can be similar. The tests done however would confirm which disease the doctors were dealing with. H Pylori is distinctive as a corkscrew shaped gram negative bacterium. Biopsy from the stomach lining is used among other tests. Treatment in some cases can be somewhat similar with the use of metronidazole and other antibiotics. It can take several treatments but unlike crohns disease, h. pylori is curable.

What causes Crohn's disease?
Experts are not sure, and studies and research are ongoing. Several theories exist but unfortunately, none of these theories has yet been scientifically proven. Most experts agree that the immune system of people with Crohn's disease reacts abnormally - it treats good bacteria, foods, and other substances that are good for us as foreign and unwanted substances. In other words, the patients own immune system attacks. This leaves us with the question, does Crohn's disease cause an abnormal immune system response, or does an abnormal immune system response cause Crohn's disease

Your headache goes away. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium can possibly cause inflammation and worsen bleeding in the small intestine.

People with Crohns disease should always consult with their gastroenterologist before taking NSAIDs.

Can a person with crohns disease join the military?
Probably not. Crohn's disease can flare up at anytime. It is not curable. It can go into remission for years and re-appear very suddenly. Stress often is blamed for flare-ups and what can be more stressful than basic training or a posting to a war zone. Army doctors will probably not take the chance.
