Crohns disease has been around since at least 850 AD.
Written documentation of England's King Alfred is available describing an illness causing pain, discomfort and much embarrassment (diarrhea) whenever he ate. We know now this was probably Crohn's or another form if IBD.
In 1612 an autopsy was performed on a young boy who's intestines were noted to be ulcerated and whom had complained prior to his death of pain and abdominal cramping only when eating. This too was suspected to be Crohn's in more modern case studies.
Between 1920 and 1930 an increasing number of patients complaining of abdominal cramping, diarrhea, fever and weight loss that turned out not to be appendicitis.
Upon further investigation, Dr's Berg, Oppenheimer and Ginsberg studied 12 patients showing these symptoms and in 1930 Dr. Burill Crohn published a paper in collaboration with the others including Dr. Paul Klemperer on a medical condition they call "Terminal Ileitis" later to be called Crohns Disease.
