Abdominal Pains And What They Could Mean

Chronic Inflammation Of The Digestive Tract - Crohn’s Disease

There are many symptoms to be aware of caused by Crohn’s disease such as abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and diarrhea that can sometimes be bloody. It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive tract that is treated with antidiarrhetics and prescription anti-inflammatory medications alongside lifestyle changes such as exercising and maintaining a healthy diet.

Crohn’s disease is caused by problems with the immune system, genetics, and environmental factors such as microbes and cigarette smoke. However, flare-ups can be avoided by taking medication correctly, knowing triggers, eating healthy, quitting smoking, avoiding over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin, and by taking care of stress.
