Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive tract which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition. It most commonly occurs in the small intestine and the colon. This disease can affect any part of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can involve some parts of the GI tract and skip other parts. Over time, inflammation can damage sections of the digestive system, resulting in complications such as the narrowing of the intestine or a channel developing between the end of the bowel. These problems would usually require surgical treatment.
