What Is Crohn’s Disease?

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes persistent inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract. It most commonly affects the small intestine and colon, and the inflammation can extend deep into the intestinal wall. Crohn’s progresses in cycles, with periods of remission followed by painful flares involving abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and digestive discomfort.
