Crohn's

VilmaK

My daughter is in her 50's and has had Crohn's most of her life. Surgeries resulted in her losing feet of intestines. My question is this...It's possible to replace many parts in the human body, hearts, liver, lungs, skin etc...so why can't the intestine be replaced?

I have wondered that very thing many times. Only thing I can of is that unlike heart or liver, the intestines absorb and redistribute nutrition. Whereas heart is like an engine making the car run and the liver and kidneys are filters to be passed thru.
