I just saw this paper on Suppversity, and man, is it a really interesting, bizarre paper:
And this study noted that GH use (and a high-protein diet) can also be useful for the treatement of Crohn's disease:

It is expected that when measurements become available that the ER-β/ ER-α in endometriosis will be down-regulated to normal range on appropriate anabolic treatment. It is expected that measurement of the ER-β/ER-α in IBD will be upregulated to a normal range by mixed anabolic therapy. Remission of disease should correlate directly with normalization of both the ER-β/ER-α ratio and the FAI biomarkers as the host’s returns to a ‘normal’ homeostatic range of Gender Specific hormones. The bacterial concept of causation disproved, physicians should ineffective antibiotic therapy and direct treatment to restoring the Free Androgen Index to normal range. A paradigm shift offering compassionate use to our most affected young adults is no longer a hope but a realization.
