My sister is a user of meth and now she is in the hospital getting her gallbladder and one foot of her small intestein removed. She has told my parents that she has chrones disease and that is why she is having stomach issues could this be true or infact a result from her using meth?
Dear Enquirer You mentioned your sister is meth user I think you mean user of Methyl Amphetamine. The side effect of Methyl Amphetamine includes intense euphoria, severe dental problem, severe emotional problem, violent behavior, paranoid attitude, decrease appetite severe loss of weight but does not develop any condition which needs surgical intervention. Crowns disease is inflammatory bowel disease which affects both small and large intestine and usually present with abdominal pain, persistent watery diarrhea sometimes constipation and rectal bleeding. Needs lots of special tests e.g. colonoscopy, barium enema, CT scan of abdomen, MRI scan. The person got Crowns disease need to take and use special medications e.g. painkillers, aminosalysilates antibiotics by mouth and needs to use steroid enema. If there is blockage in the bowel due damage or stricture that section of the Iowa got to be removed by surgery. I therefore feel your sister may have got Crowns disease and this condition is nothing to do with her meth taking. Regards.
