What is Crohn's disease?
CROHN's disease is a lifelong condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed.
It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which, along with ulcerative colitis, affects almost half a million people in the UK.
Symptoms usually start in childhood, but the disease affects people of all ages. These include: Diarrhoea
Stomach aches and cramps
Blood in your poo
Tiredness (fatigue)
Weight loss
There is no cure, but treatment can help reduce or control symptoms.
Some people take medication to lessen inflammation in the digestive system, while others might have surgery to remove a small area.
The exact cause is unknown, but genes, problems with your immune system, smoking, stomach bugs and gut bacteria imbalances are believed to play a part.

Sydney Sweeney causes wild jump in struggling retailer's stock price after surprise announcement
Sydney Sweeney is giving American Eagle new star power — and its stock price a major jolt. The Hollywood A-lister, who made her name in Euphoria, White Lotus and Anyone But You, is the face of the denim brand's fall campaign. News of the collaboration sent American Eagle's ailing stock up more than five percent Thursday morning, even though the stock is still down 45 percent over the past year. It is usually the investments from titans like Warren Buffet that move stocks that much. Some analysts say the spike puts American Eagle in line to join other 'meme stocks' — companies whose prices are driven more by online hype than fundamentals. The trend took off during the pandemic as bored workers stuck at home plotted on social media to push up prices of struggling stocks like GameStop and AMC in a bid to spite hedge funds that had better the would fall more. Eventually, those stocks collapsed as their businesses couldn't support the social media-fueled hype. The meme stock craze returned this week. Kohl's saw its stock surge 40 percent in one day after a frenzy of share buying. 'Once a stock falls under the 'meme' category, the price movements can be violent and volatile, so it's certainly not for everyone,' Bret Kenwell, a US investment analyst at eToro, previously told 'Chasing can result in being burned.' However, American Eagle will be hoping that retaining the Anyone But You bombshell is enough to revive its bottom line. 'With Sydney Sweeney front and center, she brings the allure,' president Jennifer Foyle said. 'We add the flawless wardrobe for the winning combo of ease, attitude and a little mischief.' Sweeney's campaign will focus on American Eagle's most famous product, its denim jeans. 'I have great jeans…now you can too,' wrote Sweeney on Instagram as she debuted one of the commercials. Sweeney — who has previously partnered with brands such as Dr. Squatch, Baskin-Robbins and Jimmy Choo — has also designed her own American Eagle jeans with a butterfly design. The collaboration sent American Eagle's stock up more than five percent on Thursday morning Sweeney, pictured in hit film Anyone But You, also designed her own jeans for the campaign The company's stock price is still down 45 percent over the last year All net proceeds from the jeans will benefit Crisis Text Line. Meanwhile, Sweeney is preparing to launch her own lingerie brand — with some very powerful backers. The venture has backing from Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, who have invested in new brand. A source told Us Weekly that her new lingerie line is launching 'very soon.' 'This has been a huge project for her and something she's been working on for the last year,' the source added.

One Day in Southport forgets the tragedy at the heart of the film
One Day in Southport (Channel 4) purported to be a documentary about the devastating tragedy that unfolded at a Taylor Swift -themed dance class on Merseyside a year ago. Rather like the appalling crime itself, however, the film was soon hijacked by other issues entirely. The result was grimly gripping but ultimately unsatisfying. Bafta-winning documentarian Dan Reed – director of Leaving Neverland and The Truth vs Alex Jones – investigated the mass stabbing, its febrile aftermath and the nationwide riots which followed. It proved too much to adequately examine in 51 minutes Reed began his story in simmeringly powerful style. A survivor relived the unfathomable knife attack and read aloud from her quietly furious letter to the perpetrator in prison. As she courageously did so, the camera lingered on her haunted eyes and shaking hands. This was intercut with dashcam and CCTV footage of a masked, hooded 17-year-old taking a taxi to Hart Space dance studio, silently getting out without paying and calmly entering the building. It was deeply chilling to watch, the stuff of a low-budget horror movie, before all hell broke loose. We heard screams, sirens and the testimony of parents who arrived on the scene to sights and smells they will never be able to forget. As misinformation about the knife man's identity spread online, the Southport community took to the streets. Angry mobs clashed with police. A local mosque was surrounded and set alight, while the terrified imam and worshippers hid inside. Ground-level visuals – a pacy mix of news footage, phone camera clips and social media reportage – were immersive, stressful and scary. It was instructive to witness how, in the absence of accurate intel about the murderer's identity, irresponsible speculation filled the vacuum. The assumption took hold that he was an illegal immigrant and a Muslim extremist. The authorities were too slow to disclose that Axel Rudakubana was actually Cardiff-born with Rwandan Christian parents. We saw how anti-immigration protests and riots spread to 27 towns and cities across the UK. Fuelled by far-Right rhetoric, Muslim neighbourhoods and asylum seekers were targeted by rampaging mobs. In post-apocalyptic scenes, a migrant hotel was stormed and a car full of Romanian workers vandalised. The Government and law enforcement were completely unprepared, scrambling to catch up with the escalating crisis. When they finally did act, they over-compensated with 1,800 rioters arrested, fast-tracked through courts and sentenced to a total of more than 100 years in prison. There were wider questions raised here. YouTuber Daniel Edwards described the protests as the 'consequences of not listening to the public'. Videographer Wendell Daniel argued that post-Covid disaffection isn't about race but about social class. Topics tantalisingly touched upon included two-tier policing and mistrust of mainstream media. Yet framed within a film about a tragedy which felt quickly forgotten, both the personal and the political were done a disservice. As the stricken Southport families mourned or recovered in hospital, narrative focus was elsewhere. We heard about flashbacks, trauma and survivors' guilt, but all too fleetingly. Rudakubana's victims condemned the rioting and rejected the politicisation of the girls' murders. 'It didn't represent me at all,' said one survivor. You wonder what they will make of this strangely scattergun film.
