It is still unknown what causes Crohn's disease.
This is what is known or suspected. Inherited predisposition has long been suspected and families with a history of Crohn's
often produce children with higher risk of developing the disease.
Environmental triggers also are being studied with no definitive results.
Hyper activation of the immune system appears to be an important clue but testing and research is ongoing.
Most recently a gene called NOD2 has been identified as having an association with Crohns. Crohn's disease is not however confined to an individual country, a Canadian or American with crohns disease is diagnosed the same as an Australian. Dropping the country specific designation will help your search for information.

Can Crohn's disease cause diabetes?
No, Crohns is not caused by Diabetes. A study in 2007 suggested a link between the two because both are autoimmune diseases but geneticists who found the gene linking Crohns and type 1 diabetes found it to be insignificant. The overall increase in risk of disease conferred by the various genetic risk factors was between 1.2 and 1.5 times, suggesting routine testing is not worthwhile.
Can Crohns Disease be caused by stress?
Yes. Trauma, stress and ailments not related to crohn's can all exacerbate symptoms. Crohn's can be active with symptoms so mild as to be unnoticeable to the crohn's patient. These symptoms can worsen when other factors play a part in your daily life. They do not cause the disease, they can make it worse.

The most common causes of an elevated CRP is infection and inflammation. Elevated CRP can also be caused by auto immune diseases like Crohns disease (its an inflammatory disease and can raise CRP levels). Symptoms of Crohns disease include: diarrhea, blood in the stool, abdominal pain and cramping, fatigue, weight loss and ulcers.

Symptoms start an average of two to five days after exposure to the bacteria and usually last for less than one week.Crohns disease is not caused by bacteria. While the cause of Crohns is not yet known, bacteria have been studied for years and years and Campylobacter are readily available for study. They are not the source or cause of Crohns.
