I will interpret that "cells lining the small intestine" are specialized
cells that make the intestine. They would not be the blood cells, for
instance.

That is really good to know. Interestingly, it seems as though your
apostrophes were somehow converted to ’ when you posted your
response... at least on my PC. There's a new puzzle.

Crohn's research is interesting. While bacteria (especially MAP) could be
a cause of Crohn's, there are some interesting observations I found...
1) People who have damaged their abdomens (such as from car accidents) often
develop symptoms similar to Crohn's as well as food allergies.
2) Remission is possible when steps are taken to break down foods to smaller
sizes before consumption... including juicing vegetables, chewing more,
eating less, blending foods, consuming digestive enzymes, consuming
probiotics, and even swallowing worm eggs that hatch in the gut!
3) Crohn's get's worse when food is broken down less before reaching the
ileum. Thus, eating large meals, eating hard-to-digest foods, etc. will
worsen Chrohn's. Even caffeine and stress, which accelerate food flow, will
worsen Crohn's. Proteins that take longer to digest, such as Soy protein,
become allergens to Crohn's patients (suggesting that larger proteins are
somehow leaking into an area where an IgE response occurs.
4) Crohn's is characterized by chronic inflammation. If the immune system
was attacking the ileum, then the results would be quickly devastating. I
think the damage to the ileum is slow because the damage is coming from
collateral damage... not a direct attack.
Therefore, I submit that Crohn's is the result of an immune response against
nutrients that are large enough to stimulate an immune response, with the
largest nutrients being attacked with an IgE response (food allergy). The
mechanism of how the large nutrients would escape the ileum into the
blood/lymph is still a mystery to me. Certainly car wrecks could do it...
releasing lots of nutrients into the blood and lymph and perhaps creating
food allergy. If MAP is a small bacteria, perhaps it is getting the blame
for causing Crohn's because it is merely leaking out of the ileum and
worsening inflamation.
