Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes
inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract, which can lead to
abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.
Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can involve different areas of
the digestive tract in different people.
The inflammation caused by Crohn's disease often spreads deep into
the layers of affected bowel tissue. Crohn's disease can be both painful
and debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life-threatening
complications.
While there's no known cure for Crohn's disease, therapies can
greatly reduce its signs and symptoms and even bring about long-term
remission. With treatment, many people with Crohn's disease are able to
function well.
