Crohn's Disease

By. Kristian Hamilton

Crohn’s disease is an IBD disease which means it is an inflammatory bowel disease. In the article by Mayo clinic staff it cause inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract. Which also means it will lead to abdominal pain. The inflammation can happen in different areas of the digestive tract in different people. Some of the symptoms of Crohn’s would be diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, blood in your stool, ulcers, and reduced of appetite and weight loss. Also, some of the other signs of Crohn’s are also a low grade fever, fatigue, arthritis, eye inflammation, mouth sores, skin disorders, inflammation of the liver or bile ducts, and delayed of growth or sexual development in children. The cause of Crohn’s disease remains unknown. Trust me when I say this because I have this disease you do not want to play with this and push these symptoms to the side, and don't let the doctors push your symptoms to the side. See I waited a little to late before I went to the hospital, but also the hospital wouldn't take me until I started bleeding out. So don't take this as a joke because it is just as serous as any other disease.
