Affecting around 780,000 Americans, the disease causes inflammation in the bowel tissue of the digestive tract. Symptoms can vary, but generally include: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal Cramps <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloody stool<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rectal bleeding <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent need to use the bathroom<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling of incomplete bowel removal<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less common symptoms can also include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever and fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mouth sores<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night Sweats <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflammation of skin, eyes, joints, liver or bile ducts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The causes of Crohn\u2019s Disease are still unknown. People with a family history of the disease are more likely to suffer from it. Those with parents, siblings, or children affected by the disease are at highest risk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The types of Crohn\u2019s Disease are dependant on which part of the tract is affected. The different types include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ileocolitis<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which affects the ends of both the small and large intestines. Commonly, people experience cramping, diarrhea and pain in the abdomen, and can experience weight loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ileitis<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which affects only the small intestines, shares the same symptoms as Ileocolitis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jejunoileitis<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> causes inflammation in random parts of the upper half of the small intestine. It can cause diarrhea, abdominal pains, and cramps, especially after eating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gastroduodenal<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affects the small intestine and the stomach, and can cause nausea, vomiting, loss and appetite and weight loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Crohn&#8217;s (Granulomatous) Colitis<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">causes rectal bleeding and diarrhea, and affects the colon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who have Crohn\u2019s Disease can experience symptoms irregularly. The disease is chronic, and has no cure. It cannot be self-diagnosed, and can only be diagnosed by a professional. If you have experienced any of the major symptoms listed above, visit your doctor immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Crohn\u2019s Disease?
