the confusion when there are so many terms, and when so many Americans are
affected with one type of disorder or another.  Crohn's Disease, ileitis,
ulcerative colitis, spastic colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome provoke
anxiety and fear; and the need to know is not exaggerated but real, as the
symptoms cause serious disruptions in the life of those who suffer with these
diseases and disorders.  However, there is an extremely valuable source of
information and answers to all the questions you may have.  It is called the
Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA).  Their national headquarters
