I am not Jewish, I do Have Crohns Disease though and have had it for 28 yearsm suffering through yeara of hospital stays, 7 bowel resections, and also because of having Crohns, I also have gastro paresis.  These 2 together really stink, and I would not wish it on anyone.  After reading so of the blogs concerning Crohns,,,it is amazing that people having the disease do not know how to spell it....makes you go HMMMM.
