Crohns Disease
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. It can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, and typically causes abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, weight loss, and other symptoms. Crohn's disease is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, meaning that it occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue. This can lead to a range of serious complications, such as malnutrition and an increased risk of certain infections. Treatment typically involves lifestyle modifications and medications, such as immunosuppressants and biologics, that help suppress the immune response and reduce inflammation.
