Yes!! smoking makes your Crohn's disease worse, there are over 4000 different chemicals and poisons in a single cigarette, with Crohn's disease your body rejects and treats food and your normal friendly gut bacteria as 'foriegn' and therefore when you have a flare up, your white blood cell count will rise to fight what 'it thinks' is harmfull, and so you suffer with Diarreah and joint pain and blood loss and sometimes with mucus, stomach cramps etc (all the horrible affects with Crohn's disease)
So imagine eating a normal healthy meal and suddenly your Crohns flares up, imagine whatever poisons that are not natural do to your stomach.
If you are a smoker, like me (a Crohns sufferer) when your are in a flare up or not, when you smoke it makes some people want to go to the loo.
My Gastroenterologist told me this, and yes i still smoke and therefore makes me somewhat stupid (what can i say im addicted)
I would also say that of course theres a lot of rubbish put into our foodstuff, so i feel that as this disease is a basically 'Western' disease, what we are eating and drinking has a lot to answer for. Unless you grow your own food make your own bread etc etc you dont know what rubbish you are putting into your body, and although you are apparently born with the disease, i believe that certain lifestyles including stressfull lives, nervous people, those that are real worriers suffer the most with this disease, all these things affect people in different ways.
Also Alcohol=very bad for the disease
Im no expert ive just had Chrons for about 15 years, and talking from my experience with my chrons disease
