I was diagnosed with Crohn's in July 2011 and have found this forum very helpful. There are terms people use that I am unfamiliar with. One user wrote about an MR Enterography, another developed a seton. There are many more that i have run across. Is there a glossary of IBD related terms?

Go to search and click on it and the window drops to Wiki, if you put in your question, of ibd related terms it should show up.

Seton....develop.... OUCH! lol A seton is actually something surgically "installed" (haha) to help with a fistula. A fistula, is a second anus for lack of better terms. A seton is used to keep the hole open so it can drain the infection, although they don't have the greatest success rates.

If you see someone use a term in a thread and you do not see it in the Crohn's Forum Wiki I suggest you make a post asking what that term means in the thread.
