Were you looking for information on Crohn's Disease? Crohns desease is a common misspelling of Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease is an illness characterized by areas of inflammation along the digestive tract -- most commonly near the end of the small intestine and in the
colon. It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This inflammation often affects several layers of the wall of the digestive tract, which can cause the intestines to empty more frequently, resulting in
diarrhea.
While Crohn's disease cannot be cured, lifelong treatment can help people with the condition lead active and productive lives. Common treatment options include medications, dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplementation, and surgery.
