What is Crohn's Disease?
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Crohn's Disease is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Everyone experiences a stomachache from time to time, especially as a reaction to certain foods. Imagine, however, that such aches and discomforts were a part of everyday life? What if digesting food became a painful process? Those who suffer from Crohn's disease must endure such pain in addition to diarrhea, weight loss, fever, and rectal bleeding so severe that it may even lead to anemia.
- No one really knows for sure what causes Crohn's disease (also called ileitis or enteritis). The most popular theory is that the body's immune system senses a virus or bacteria and reacts to it or them through inflammation of the small intestine.
