It is not known what causes Crohn’s disease, although it is thought that it may be heredity in nature or result of a virus or bacterium invading body. To date no definitive answer has been provided. It effects both males and females and people suffering with this disease also tend to have immune system abnormalities, although whether this is a cause or a result of disease is unknown. One thing that has been established is that Crohn’s Disease is not caused by stress, although emotional distress can exacerbate symptoms.

Symptoms most commonly experienced by sufferers are severe abdominal pain, accompanied by diarrhea. Some also report bleeding from rectum, weight loss and fevers. Children who suffer with Crohn’s may experience some developmental and growth delays due to lack of essential vitamins and minerals absorbed into body.
