No. There is no known correlation between crohn's disease and alcoholism as diseases.

A person with crohn's would certainly need to stop drinking for extended periods during a flare up of the disease. Alcohol exacerbates the symptoms and due to the irritation already present in the bowel would greatly increase the pain and cramping.

There is no direct causal relationship between Crohn's disease and Alcoholism. However, excessive alcohol consumption can worsen symptoms of Crohn's disease and lead to complications due to its impact on the digestive system and overall health. It is important for individuals with Crohn's disease to practice moderation when consuming alcohol.

How can you determine the levels of stress in an organisation and the likelihood that it will be a factor in injury and diesease and why consider stress?

There are a number of ways to assess stress but connecting that in a quantitative way to the rate of injury or disease has not been developed to a level that doing so is useful in dealing with any one particular workplace. Most agree that a more stressful workplace is one that is more likely to have a higher rate of injury and stress-related disease, and reducing stress is a good thing to do. But for injury reduction, mistake-proofing various functions is usually a more productive approach, and more readily quantified and justified than a single focus on stress.

What is frequency of births with crohns disease?

The fertility rates for women with Crohns disease are not much different from those without Crohns. Women with Crohn's disease should also be aware that pregnancy often results in normal gestation and that children are not more likely to have the disease just because mom has it. If a woman with Crohns is in remission at the time of conception, she has no greater risk for a disease flare than a woman who is not pregnant. A woman with active disease at the time of conception has a one-third chance of going into remission, a one-third chance of staying at the same disease activity level, and a one-third chance of getting worse during pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that inactive Crohn's disease has any effect on either female or male fertility, or on a woman's ability to carry a pregnancy to term and have a vaginal delivery.

Crohns disease is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intestines. Crohns disease can affect the digestive system anywhere from the mouth to the anus. It most often causes ulcerations in the large and small bowels, typically at the joining of the two bowels called the ileum (located on the right side of the abdomen near the appendix) but can manifest anywhere in the digestive tract. Symptoms include but are not exclusive to, abdominal pain often severe, cramping, nausea, frequent diarrhea, rectal bleeding. These symptoms often result in severe weight loss, fatigue, and depression. Follow the link provided below for much more information. Crohns disease is an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that affects both children and adults. Crohns can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. The cause of Crohns disease is unknown. Common symptoms of Crohns disease can include abdominal pain and tenderness, diarrhea, anal pain and or drainage, rectal bleeding, severe weight loss, mouth sores, fissures, fever, infections, bloating, gas and rectal abscess. Patients can also have problems outside of the digestive tract, including skin rash, joint pain, eye redness and liver problems.

Treatments now are allowing many patients to experience long periods of symptom-free remission.
