Crohn's Disease: A gift from the dairy industry?
Crohn’s is a terrible, painful and often embarrassing condition that can involve any component of the digestive system.

In essence Crohn’s takes place within the immune system and attacks the lining of the gut, causing swelling and inflammation. Symptoms can be from mild to severe and include uncontrollable diarrhoea, stomach pains, vomiting and excruciating pain during digestion.
Although not yet accepted as fact, leading specialists are beginning to think that Crohn’s may be caused by exposure to dairy products coming from cows suffering with Johne’s Disease.
Even Kennedy Dalziel, the Scottish surgeon who was first to clearly describe Crohn’s guessed at this in 1913 when he wrote in the British Medical Journal 25 October 1913:1058-70) that the characteristics of Crohn’s and Johne’s disease were:
