Has there been any new news/studies about HGH on Crohn's patients? The internet is littered with a lot of poorly-documented stories/reports.
My experience:
I was on HGH for pituitary dwarfism from when I was 4 until about 3 years. I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 8 years ago, and had been doing pretty well on 6mp. About 6-8 months after I stopped HGH, I had 2 months of continual poor health which led to a 2 week hospital visit from a liver abscess and pleural effusion which are believed to have been the result of Crohns. Last month I had some unusual abdominal pain which has turned out to be a Colon abscess, which was definitely the result of a Crohn's flare. After being given antibiotics, I have been put on entocort for the short term until what appears to be an inevitable first resectioning
Recently ive been having a very hard time dealing with a lot of the symptoms typical for people with a lack of GH and have been looking into getting my endocrinologist to put me back on a small HGH dose. However its not something they are easily willing to do, so I am hoping there is maybe some more scientific evidence to go along with my personal experience to help support my personal experience
