It can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to rectum, and can also cause problems outside the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of Crohn's disease in United States is 6:100 000, and is thought to be related in Europe, but lower in Asia and Africa Unlike another major inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, there is no known medical o-r surgical cure for Crohn's disease. Many medical treatments are but readily available for Crohn's disease with a purpose of keeping the disease in remission. Many patients with Crohn's illness have symptoms for years before the examination. Because of the level of tissue involvement and the intermittent nature of the gastrointestinal illness, initial symptoms may be more obscure than with ulcerative colitis. Typical initial symptoms of Crohn's infection are the following; Abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and peri anal disquiet. Generally, Crohns illness only affects areas of the large intestine. Because Crohns infection is most commonly from the large intestine, the most frequent symptoms are abdominal pain, and diahrea or constipation and cramping. Like all autoimmune disorders, Crohns condition can be a pretty serious problem, and there isnt really any treatment for it. There are some new therapies available, but nothing that'll cure it completely.

Others suffer from serious flare-ups their entire lives, which could sometimes lead to much more serious problems. The drugs you take if you are having a flare-up are generally immunosuppressant kinds of drugs and obviously ste-roids, neither of which arent really all that nice to take. They both have a lot of unwanted side effects, and the immunosupressants increase your chances of getting some sort of opportunistic infection.
