I know that my aunt has it and it is a disease of the stomach. It eats itself away and requires strong steroids to counteract its damage, usually incurable.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic and serious inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, specifically the lower intestines. The disease is also sometimes referred to as ileitis, regional enteritis, or Crohn’s colitis. Gastroenterologists may use one of these terms to differentiate the portion of the bowel that is affected by the disease.
People with Crohn’s disease may experience a number of symptoms, including:
Diarrhea
Abdominal cramps and pain
Fever
Rectal bleeding
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Although Crohn’s disease is a chronic condition, many people diagnosed with Crohn’s are able to lead active, productive lives. In fact, more than 500,000 Americans have Crohn’s disease.
Every Crohn’s patient’s condition differs in some way, but severity and frequency of symptoms are the most common factors. Crohn’s symptoms can be frequent or rare, mild, or severe.
