What Is Crohn's Disease?
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes ongoing inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract, although it most commonly affects the end of the small intestine (ileum) and the beginning of the large intestine (colon). The inflammation often extends through multiple layers of the intestinal wall, which distinguishes Crohn’s disease from some other digestive disorders.
Because Crohn’s disease is an immune-mediated condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in the gastrointestinal tract. This persistent inflammation may lead to symptoms that fluctuate over time, with periods of active disease (flares) followed by periods of remission.
Although there is currently no cure, many patients achieve long-term symptom control through personalized treatment plans that may include medications, biologic therapies, infusion therapy, nutrition support, and ongoing monitoring by specialists experienced in inflammatory bowel disease.
Flares vs. Remission
Active inflammation, symptoms present, treatment often intensifies.
Inflammation controlled, symptoms minimal, maintenance therapy continues.
Common Symptoms of Crohn's Disease
Crohn’s disease affects every patient differently. Symptoms depend on the location and severity of inflammation, making early evaluation by a healthcare provider important.
- Persistent diarrhea
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Blood in the stool
- Urgent bowel movements
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Reduced appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Rectal bleeding
- Bloating
- Mouth sores
Some patients experience mild symptoms for years, while others develop more aggressive disease requiring advanced treatment. Children and adolescents with Crohn’s disease may also experience delayed growth, delayed puberty, or poor weight gain because inflammation interferes with normal nutrient absorption.
Crohn's Disease Can Affect More Than the Digestive System
Although Crohn’s disease primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract, inflammation can involve other organs throughout the body. These extraintestinal manifestations may include:
- Joint pain or arthritis
- Eye inflammation (uveitis, episcleritis)
- Skin conditions (erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum)
- Liver or bile duct disorders
- Kidney stones
- Osteoporosis
Because Crohn’s is a systemic inflammatory condition, coordinated care between gastroenterologists, infusion specialists, and primary care providers is often beneficial.

What Causes Crohn's Disease?
The exact cause of Crohn’s disease remains unknown. Researchers believe the condition develops through a combination of genetic susceptibility, immune system dysfunction, environmental influences, and changes in the gut microbiome.
Contributing factors may include:
- Family history of inflammatory bowel disease
- Immune system abnormalities
- Altered intestinal bacteria
- Environmental triggers
- Cigarette smoking
- Previous gastrointestinal infections
Not contagious, not caused by stress alone. Crohn’s disease is not contagious. However, emotional stress may worsen symptoms in some individuals already living with the disease.
Risk Factors
- Family history of Crohn's or ulcerative colitis
- Younger age (though it can occur at any age)
- Cigarette smoking
- Certain genetic variations
- Living in industrialized countries
- Western dietary patterns
- Previous autoimmune conditions
Having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean someone will develop Crohn’s disease.
