I am a breastfeeding peer counsler and LLL Leader hopeful and was recently
asked by a peer of mine about Chones deiseas and breastfeeding.  I did a
search in the archives and came up empty handed (much to my suprise!)

She was recently diagonised with Chones disease and is currently nursing
her 7 month old daugheter (she nusrsed her son for 2 years)  Her dr (who
she admits is not very pro-breastfeeding) is preasurring her to wean
immediatly.  She also needs to find out about some of the procedures they
are wanting to do and how those conflict with nursing. Colonoscopy, and
some Berium thing being two of those tests.

Any information on the safty of bfing with Chrone's would be greatly
appreciated.  Also, it is my understanding that bfing will reduce her
daughters chances of getting Chrones herself - is this documented?

Thank you.
