Best Answer

Children who suffer Crohns disease often have delayed growth. The Childs body puts a lot of effort into repair at a time when it should be dealing with normal growth and development. Medications used to control Crohns can also delay normal growth rates. Nutrition is compromised with each flare up and constant diarrhea inhibits absorption of much needed nutrients.
