When they can't find a cause, they should say that they don't have the foggiest idea why the person has intestinal ulcers. Instead, they deceive their patients by saying that the person has Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and explaining that the person's immunity is so stupid that it punches holes in the intestines, rather than doing its job of killing germs. They prescribe medications that suppress immunity or cut out parts of intestine. The immunities of these patients may not be so stupid that they attack and kill their own intestinal cells. Normal intestines are so loaded with bacteria that doctors can't possibly tell which belong there and which may be causing disease.
Antibiotics can reduce swelling and ulcers in Crohn's disease.
