Calling all statisticians...

[Guest guest]

Curious if anyone knows what the current counts are for people

formally diagnosed with Chrones and Colitis worldwide and then more

specifically in the US...and how many people are on SCD? I know there

are no exacts, but it would be great to have some rough figures in

describing to others that there are a lot for us out there.
