Eighteen-year-old Jessica Terry, brought slides of her own intestinal tissue into her AP science class and correctly diagnosed herself with Crohn's disease.

I correctly diagnosed myself with CRS.

She's still not done. Crohn's is more a symptom than a cause sort of thing. If you want to get in behind the "inflamation" what you need to do is cut out eating wheat and wheat byproducts for several weeks.

If "things" change you are on the track of Celiac or other gluten sensitivity problem. Once you pin that down you can get a gene test to see if you have the gene for Celiac ~ of course you could have any one of 11 other genes for Celiac for which there is no test (yet).

Celiac can also be associated with Autism (due to the victim having a thin intestinal wall ~ in whole or in part ~ which allows "leakage" into the blood stream.

Glad she caught that particular sympton though. Lot of these guys have been trained to not worry about it unless there's a lesion or glioma somewhere ~ and sometimes there's not.

"I correctly diagnosed myself with CRS."

Advanced stages of CRS are also known as CRAFT.

I correctly diagnosed myself with CRS.

If by "CRS" you mean some syndrome recognized by medical science, what is it? Or are you trying to make a joke?
