Someone can never be cured from Chron's disease.  If she had Chron's disease, she still has it and a qualified doctor would first check to make sure her bowels are working properly (with a endoscopy and colonoscopy) before they conclude that it is psychological.  Have they looked at her liver?  Some liver problems can cause a very bloated stomach.  They are correct though that psychological problems can cause these problems.  However, they should rule out all other conditions before they conclude that it is psychological.

THEY SAID NO NOW BELIEVE OR NOT HTEY TO ME THEY THINK THIS IS PSYCOLOGY I SIAD MAYBE I SHOULD CALL THE NEWS STSTION THEN  CAUSE HOW CAN YOU GO FROM NPT LOOKING PREGNANT TO 10 MONTHS IN 15 OR SO MINUTES.THEY SAID CAUSE YOUR BOWEL  HAS A BRAIN AND IF YOU TO EMOTIAL UPSET YOUR  BRAIN SEND SIGNAL TO YOUR BOWL AND YOUR BOWL SENDS SIGNALS THAT MAKE YOUR STOMACH SWELL. I FEEL IM ON SOME DIFERENT PLAET. THIS HOSPITAL IN DETROIT AREA IS  A NUMBER ONE HOSPITAL.

She should probably have another endoscopy and colonoscopy to see how her Chron's is doing.
