It became regarded as a medical condition in 1932 when Dr. Crohn and two colleagues presented an article on the condition of terminal ileitis to the American Medical Association. However, there were numerous other reports by doctors in other countries going back as far as 1898. Kristen had her first symptoms at the age of six. She wasn't diagnosed until the age of nineteen. As you read her story, you will find that Crohn's is not just about diarrhea. Kristen was a loving daughter, wife, and mother. She loved Jesus, and we know that she would want her story shared.
