CLEMSON – Junior quarterback Kelly Bryant has battled a concussion and a lower ankle injury in recent weeks, and both injuries have caused him to miss time. But Bryant isn’t a quitter, and he’s learned life lessons on how to deal with pain.
Those lessons were taught by Crohn’s Disease.
Crohn’s disease belongs to a group of conditions known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, and in February 2014 Bryant was hospitalized with stomach pains that he thought were related to the medications that he takes to control his Crohn’s disease.
