A blood transfusion itself is not directly connected to Crohn's disease, but individuals with Crohn's may require transfusions due to complications such as anemia or significant blood loss from intestinal inflammation or ulceration. Crohn's disease can lead to malabsorption of nutrients, including iron, which can result in anemia, necessitating transfusions. Additionally, patients may experience gastrointestinal bleeding, further increasing the need for blood transfusions. Overall, while transfusions are not a treatment for Crohn's, they may be necessary to manage associated complications.

Did Dennis Kucinich suffer from Crohn's disease and cure it by eating vegan?
No, sorry. No one is cured no matter what you read. Crohns has no cure. Crohns patients have remissions and these can last for years but once you are diagnosed with Crohns disease you have it forever. A simple blood test can be done on even a patient in full remission and will always show up positive for Crohns. If it were that simple all of us who suffer from Crohns would gladly eat Vegan, it would be a great alternative to not eating at all during a flare up.
