Expert: Odette Yuhas - 6/19/2004

Question
I am having trouble finding an experianced profesional in my area that will help with my fiancee's ongoing trouble with already diagnosed chrones disease and ulcerative colitis.every doctor we have seen wants to either remove intestines or they simply will not waste their time with finding other solutions.please help us locate a specialist with more knowledge.we live in the Ozarks region of Mo.,but we will travel for this critical treatment.

Answer
Hi Michael,

There is a hospital in Boston, MA that specializes in Crohn's Disease.  I do not know the name of it, but will look into it if you wish.  Also here is a web site that may be of help as well as a newsgroup.

www.ccfa.org

the newsgroup is alt.support crohn's colitis.

There are folks from all over the world there and I am sure that someone who lives in your neck of the woods will be there.

Good luck and I think it is wonderful that you care so much to look for help for your loved one.

Odette
