HGH = Human growth hormone. It's not a steriod in the same sense as predinsone, it's a protein, so it has to be injected like humira/remicade. There has only been one small study.

My 2 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Crohn's. She is going to be receiving HGH in the next few years because she has Turner's Syndrome which inhibitis growth. We read that study about
HGH and Crohn's and are really hoping that it helps her!
