Ashley Heller, a senior on the girls basketball team, brings a lot of talent and leadership to the team. What you may not know about her is that she is dealing with Crohn’s Disease everyday of her life.
A major aspect Heller has to treat Crohn’s disease is with what she eats. She must maintain a good diet due to the reduced amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as water, vitamins and minerals.
Other treatments includes medication that treats your immune system to help the abnormal inflammatory response that is causing the problem.
