Crohn's, AAS and HGH.

[Erok]

does anyone have an article or more detailed information about crohns patients being linked with low testosterone? i had never heard that before, and never thought to bring up my test levels with my GI before, but i see him in about 2 weeks. would like to get an arsenal of info ready and see if there is anything i can do

I'd be very careful with using higher dose hgh on a normal basis if I had crohns. There is there a significant cancer risk (not as high as UC). I might consider using it post op to prevent leak. Very difficult to treat.

I am not aware of studies on crohns and lower doses hgh ( under 3iu) that MIGHT be beneficial without too many risks but it's just that it passes my face validity test as I am not up to date with any of the literature. We (medicine ) try so hard not to resect unless we have to as the healing is terrible.
