Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. It can affect any part of the digestive system, from the mouth to the intestines, but commonly affects the small intestine and colon.

  • Immune system imbalance
  • Family history

  • Chronic diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain and cramps
  • Weight loss
