Crohn’s Disease is a disease that inflames the bowel area of a person’s body. People who have Crohn’s Disease may feel like they have to go to the bathroom all the time. They may feel tired and lose weight and have pain in their abdomen. Other symptoms include fever, diarrhea, mouth sores and blood in your stool. Many cases of Crohn’s Disease can be traced back to their parents or other members of their family because this disease is hereditary.

Crohn’s Disease may be caused by a problem with a person’s immune system. However, there are factors that put people at greater risk of contracting or triggering Crohn’s Disease and they are a person’s age, a person’s lifestyle and certain medications.
