It’s not uncommon to experience occasional diarrhea or constipation, but what if the symptoms come and go on a regular basis? Crohn’s Disease (CD) is part of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) group. CD most commonly affects the top of the colon and the end of the small bowel, although it can also affect any area of the gastrointestinal tract.
Over 20% of the population has IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), but that’s not accounting for the nearly 3 million Americans that silently suffer from the symptoms of IBD and Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s Disease Symptoms (can be mild to severe):
• Changes in bowel habits
• Bloating
• Gassiness
• Pain
• Constipation
• Persistent diarrhea
• Rectal bleeding
• Urgent need to move bowels
• Abdominal cramps and pain
