National Association for Colitis and Crohn's
Crohn's disease is a condition in which the walls of the gut become inflammed and thickened, and the inside becomes narrowed so food may have difficulty passing through. The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown and it cannot be cured, but the NACC are currently researching the disease and supporting those who have it. 

Contact them on 01727 844 296, e-mail them at nacc@nacc.org.uk or visit their website by clicking their logo above.
