Crohn's can affect the joints. See the related link below for more information.
The inflammation that appears with both Crohn's and UC often shows up in other area's of the body like joints.
The symptoms are pain, swelling and joint stiffness that flare up and then go away, then flare up again. The more severe the IBD the more severe the Arthritis.
When the joints are involved in combination with IBD the diagnosis is call IBD Arthritis.
Treatment often amounts to moist heat and cold packs, bed rest when severe,non steroidal anti- inflammatory medications like ibuprofen.
Bleeding is often a symptom of Crohns disease.
Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis is also an inflammatory condition. The link of both of them having to do with swelling is why they have a connection. However, Crohn's Disease does not necessarily cause arthitis, it's only known to be associated with it. Hope this helps! :)
There is no know cause of Crohns disease at this time. Research is ongoing as to the causes of Crohns disease.

Scientists haven't found the cause for Crohn's Disease, which is why there is no cure for the disease.

Crohns disease can cause symptoms anywhere in the digestive tract, from mouth to anus. It is unlikely Crohns disease would be the first suspect for a swollen uvula or sore throat but eventually, after eliminating the usual suspected causes, a test for Crohns could verify that diagnosis.
There are many places that offer diet information for those with Crohns disease. One such place can be found here: http://www.webmd.com/ibd-crohns-disease/crohns-disease/creating-a-crohns-disease-diet-plan
No there is no known connection. The cause for arthritis is as yet not known.

No. It is very unlikely that unrinsed lettuce would cause Crohns disease. Medical experts have been searching for the cause of this disease for years. Unrinsed produce may cause diarrhea and cramping from e-coli or other food borne bacteria but you will not get Crohns disease from it.
