Keep in mind as well that one may develop lactose intolerance as they get older irrespective of any disease process. Inc. One may order products from this company by calling the toll free number 800 331-5222. I am interested in hearing from those who may have developed recipes that are gluten free. If there are enough contributions, I would like to write a cookbook and include names of contributors with their recipes.

Ulcerative colitis involves the colon or large intestine.
Crohn's disease can involve any portion of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus but mainly the distal small intestine and colon. Another distinguishing feature of Crohn's disease is that the inflammation characteristically extends through all layers of the intestinal wall. Inflammatory bowel disease occurs slightly more often in women than men and typically is prevalent between the ages of 10 and 40. Those of European Jewish descent, as the Ashkenazi Jews, are at least three times more likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease than the general population. Rarely, people may note constipation as a presenting feature.
