Default Crohns, Dermotillomania

This one goes out to Chemar, or whoever has help.

My 25 year old brother was diagnosed with Crohns at age 16 and then when he was 20 he began having compulsive skin picking (dermotillomania). I have always thought there is a relationship between his digestive system being subpar and his brain not getting adequate nutrients for function which leads to his skin picking. Someone recently said that antibodies resulting from crohns could lead to myoplasia which can be contributing/causing his skin picking. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
