How Do You Understand Crohns Disease Causes?
Crohn’s disease is an ongoing disorder of the body’s immune system that damages the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While no cure exists, medical technology has produced recent breakthroughs in symptom treatment. Some risk factors, such as genetics, have been proven, and other theoretical causes, such as paratuberculosis bacteria, are still under study. Inquiry and education about the causes of Crohn’s disease will be the key to a cure. Experience the onset of symptoms such as pain and diarrhea when your immune system mistakes normal intestinal bacteria for invaders. Unneeded white blood cells try to defend the site, which causes inflammation that produces the symptoms. Notice any loss of appetite and weight. The accompanying lack of nutrition further weakens your already abnormal immune system, perpetuating the cycle of symptoms. Watch for complications when remission is not maintained, either by failing to respond to drug therapy or because the disease is severe or advanced. Complicatio
