- the confusion when there are so many terms, and when so many Americans are

- 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
- are at 444 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10016-7374. They are ready and
- prepared to help all people with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, and

- about Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis" and it can provide you with the
- information you seek. You have but to call their toll-free information
