Crohn's Disease Forum

Help Support Crohn's Disease Forum:

MS is autoimmune and crohns is autoimmune

Some biologics “unmask” other autoimmune disorders when taken for a different one .

The biologics don’t cause the disease .


Example my kiddo was in humira for crohns when he developed juvenile arthritis

Even though humira is used to treat arthritis

Humira didn’t cause the arthritis

Genetically speaking the genes for certain autoimmune disorders overlap a lot


Similarly others take remicade for crohns but also develop psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis

Having one autoimmune disorder increases the likelihood of more appearing later


crohns is known to have extra intestinal manifestations  which can affect the nervous system

Demyelination is not ms but typically means no more anti tnf

Stelara is not anti tnf for what it’s worth ....
