Crohns disease is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intestines.
Crohns disease can affect the digestive system anywhere from the mouth to the anus. It most often causes ulcerations in the large and small bowels, typically at the joining of the two bowels called the ileum (located on the right side of the abdomen near the appendix) but can manifest anywhere in the digestive tract.
Symptoms include but are not exclusive to, abdominal pain often severe, cramping, nausea, frequent diarrhea, rectal bleeding. These symptoms often result in severe weight loss, fatigue, and depression.

Crohns disease is an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that affects both children and adults. Crohns can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. The cause of Crohns disease is unknown.
Common symptoms of Crohns disease can include abdominal pain and tenderness, diarrhea, anal pain and or drainage, rectal bleeding, severe weight loss, mouth sores, fissures, fever, infections, bloating, gas and rectal abscess. Patients can also have problems outside of the digestive tract, including skin rash, joint pain, eye redness and liver problems. Crohns disease is a chronic illness, medical and surgical treatments can help control the course of the disease, but cannot cure it. Treatments now are allowing many patients to experience long periods of symptom-free remission.
