Why do I have Crohn’s disease?
There’s no particular reason why you have Crohn’s disease. Doctors and scientists are still trying to figure out what causes Crohn’s disease. Maybe someone in your family had Crohn’s disease. Or maybe it just happened. It’s important to remember that your condition was not caused by anything you did, said, or thought. Your body – in particular, your immune system – decides on its own how to behave, and it occasionally makes mistakes.
