Crohn’s disease happens to fall under the inflammatory bowel disease category. People with Crohn’s have chronic inflammation of their gastrointestinal tract, causing diarrhea, blood in the stool, fatigue, stomach aches and cramps, and weight loss. Because it’s a life-long condition, symptoms may come and go every few months, or they can be constant, making it difficult to live a normal life, causing depression and anxiety in some cases. Most treatment’s include medication that reduces inflammation within the digestive system, medications or injections that stop the inflammation from recurring, or even surgery to remove a small portion of the digestive tract.
