Crohn’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammation may occur anywhere in the lining of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. The most common area affected by Crohn’s disease is the small intestine and colon. However, the condition can manifest in various areas at the same time. The impact of Crohn’s disease is different for each patient. It is important not to rely on word-of-mouth accounts in determining whether you are suffering from the condition.
