Crohn’s disease is one of the more serious inflammatory bowel conditions (also known as IBDs). It’s a condition that’s marked by serious inflammation of the intestines, which can cause a number of symptoms like pain, cramping, diarrhea, lethargy, and problems managing weight. Crohn’s disease can also make it difficult to absorb nutrients, which can lead to many forms of malnutrition. Nutritional deficiencies can each cause a wide range of symptoms, so the number of problems that can emerge from Crohn’s disease is quite varied in nature.

Since the condition can affect different parts of the digestive system, the symptoms experienced from patient to patient will differ. The depth at which the inflammation spreads can also determine the severity of the symptoms. We’ve outlined the 10 most common symptoms of the disease here so you can decide whether or not you should seek medical treatment for what you’ve experienced. While there is no known cure for the condition, medical help can certainly make it easier to cope with.
