Family and friends of people suffering from Crohn's disease are often very affected by the disease. All members of the family should learn as much as possible about Crohn’s disease so they are better able to understand what the person who is suffering from it, he is going through . Crohn's disease will change their life, it will impact the family's lifestyle.  It requires lifestyle adjustments, involvement with the person suffering from crohn's disease.
