Crohn’s disease is an chronic inflammatory bowel disease causing inflammation to occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, most commonly at the end of the small intestine. Crohn’s can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia and fatigue. While there is currently no cure for Crohn’s disease, medications can slow down the progression of the disease and lessen the side effects. It is important for people with Crohn’s disease to manage this disease closely with their doctor and receive regular screenings for colorectal cancer due to their heightened risk.
