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.

I lost 22st WITHOUT fat jabs, my body is covered in loose skin but it's better than being dead before I turned 30
A WOMAN said she felt like a prisoner in her own body after hitting 34st in weight. But Lexi Reed, 34, was determined not to feel the same this summer and went on a massive weight loss journey without using fat loss jabs.

Lexi, who lives with her husband Danny Reed, 37, weighed 34.6st at her heaviest and has gone viral on social media for sharing her incredible weight loss journey. The 34-year-old also battles with a life-threatening condition called calciphylaxis, which causes calcium and phosphate to build up in her blood vessels. While Lexi can now wear the swimsuits she always dreamed of instead of covering up, she cannot go swimming as her illness leaves her with open wounds. Advertisement READ MORE WEIGHT LOSS STORIES She said: '[Before I lost weight], I'd started to avoid wearing bathing suits due to my size and stayed at home most days in the summer, because I was always too hot due to my size. 'I refuse to hide any longer or to not be grateful for all this body has done for me. 'People will judge you, but that doesn't mean that they know your story and you shouldn't say things to yourself you wouldn't say to someone you love or judge yourself.' Lexi, who lives in Indiana, US, admits that she finds it difficult not to be able to go swimming as she used to love it – but is simply 'making the best' of her situation. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Speaking to NeedToKnow, Lexi added: 'I'm currently covered in loose skin, varicose veins, scars and calcium deposits - but all of those things tell a story of battles that I've faced and won. "At 485lbs, I wasn't worried about loose skin; I was more worried about not living to see my 30th birthday and forever feeling like a prisoner in my own body. 4 Lexi says she did it all without using weight loss jabs Credit: Jam Press/@fatgirlfedup How to give yourself a £400 'weight loss massage' at home for free 'As far as my scars, every scar was once an open wound that now reminds me of what I went through and how lucky I am to have survived.' Advertisement The influencer who has 1.2 million Instagram followers started her weight loss journey nine years ago – after a friend challenged her and Danny to 30 days of 'no eating out, no cheat meals, no soda/alcohol and going to the gym five times a week for 30 minutes'. Lexi dropped 22st by herself in two years and underwent skin removal in 2018. But she was then diagnosed with calciphylaxis, which put her fitness journey on hold. She now fights every day to maintain her healthy lifestyle. Lexi added: 'I lost all my weight with diet and exercise. 'No meal plan, no trainer, no surgery and no medication. Advertisement '[I am] fighting for my health and this new healthy lifestyle daily because I never want to go back to being almost 500lbs. 'I love this body for all it's done for me and despite any skin or scars, I'm just so grateful to be healthy, happy, and alive every single day.'

New Wicklow mental health charity aims to deliver free and immediate therapy
Cabhair, which translates as 'help' in Irish, was launched on Thursday, July 24, in Ballywaltrim Community Centre. The charity fundraises and then uses the money it makes to pay for private therapy services. 'It's quite a simple idea,' explained Rob Carry, the charity's chairman. 'We've run a string of fundraisers and all proceeds go directly to picking up the tab for young people who need to access private therapy.' While there are other therapy providers operating in Bray, Rob pointed out that they are often struggling with capacity. 'When a young person presents with a mental health crisis, they will often be told that they're going on a waiting list – and that can last for months. That sends the wrong message,' he said. Before receiving approval from the charity regulator, the trustees of Cabhair met regularly and ran a string of fundraisers as a 'mental health initiative'. These included a martial arts event, a personal training education day, a charity rifle shoot and a number of dawn hikes to the top of Bray Head. 'Our next fundraising walk is on Friday, August 1, and everyone is welcome to come along,' said Karl O'Rourke, one of Cabhair's trustees. 'Our first two were really, really successful and the money raised has been paying for free mental health services on demand for young people in Bray. We need to do these fundraisers to keep paying for the services that are so badly needed. We need your help,' he added. Rob remarked that 'while wages paid to the management of certain charities has come in for scrutiny of late', he said Cabhair operates very differently. 'We're all volunteers,' he said. 'None of us take a penny and through using our own time and resources we've been able to make sure that every single euro of what has been raised is going to pay for therapy hours. We have zero overheads… 100pc gets to end users.' Among the charity's trustees is Independent Ireland councillor, Ian Neary. ADVERTISEMENT The Bray East representative said: 'It's a massive honour to be a part of Cabhair and has been personally one of my greatest achievements to help set up this charity.' Cllr Neary highlighted the continued stigma around mental health, adding that fundraising events and the publicity around the launch of the charity helps to normalise the idea of seeking help for mental health challenges. 'Now is the time we break the stigma regarding mental health and to let the next generation know that's it normal and okay to be in a bad place," he explained. "We all fight unseen battles, scenarios and fears. We're often ashamed to speak out due to fear of being labelled. But if you're not in a good place you can readjust and come good again. Your future self will thank you,' he said. Information on the charity's services and how to sign up for the next event can be found at @cabhairbray on Instagram, or email cabhairbray@
