262: Why Are Kids Getting Crohn's, And Why No One Is Asking Why It's Happening?

About this episode

This episode discusses the rising prevalence of bowel disease, particularly Crohn's, and explores potential causes and prevention strategies.

Bowel disease is becoming more and more common - in fact, in the 1950s, 1 in every 6667 Americans had bowel disease. Today, it's 1 in 2016. And experts are predicting that by 2045, that number will be 1 in 100. This is an epidemic - and we have lots of medications to treat the symptoms - by why aren't we asking the real question: Why is bowel disease exploding and how can we prevent it? Today's episode addresses an email that on of our listeners sent in about her 15 year old nephew who got diagnosed with Crohn's. If you want an episode made answering your questions, you can email my team media@reversablepod.com. IMPORTANT NOTE: This podcast (Ep 262) ties directly to Episode 260, and is referenced many times, so be sure to listen to that one as well.
