> than if dad didn't: While Family History of someone w/Crohn's disease is linked to greater risk in others in family, more often than not, it's a sporadic case, meaning there's no genetic link. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/crohns-disease/basics/causes/con-20032061. Current symptoms are not consistent w/Crohn's.
