10 Crohn's Disease Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #1: Diarrhea
One of the most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease is diarrhea. This is particularly apparent when the condition is affecting your small intestine or your colon.
If your small intestine is affected, you will likely experience very loose stools or watery diarrhea. This can occur quite frequently throughout the day. If your colon has been infected, then you will also experience diarrhea, but it may be bloody.
Inflammation is the main reason that people suffering from IBDs experience diarrhea. It is important to notice that many other conditions may cause diarrhea, but in patients with Crohn’s disease, this symptom can easily cause dehydration. Therefore, proper medical diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent further complications.
