Article Surfing ArchiveCrohn's Disease - Articles SurfingHave you been experiencing abdominal pain lately? How about a loss in your appetite or frequent episodes of diarrhea? Have recent blood tests shown that you may be anemic (i.e. iron deficient)? If so, there's a good chance you may have something called Crohn's Disease. Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the bowels and adversely affects the body's digestive tract. It is unknown what exactly causes Crohn's; studies suggest that family history, smoking cigarettes and having Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry may play a role. While these theories offer a glimpse into the cause of Crohn's Disease, the side-effects of Crohn's Disease are anything but theories, side-effects that often wreak havoc on the lives of those affected by it. When Crohn's Disease develops, it forms ulcers on the lining of the digestive tract. The ensuing inflammation then alters how a person is able to digest food due to the narrowing of the intestinal wall (making it difficult for stool to pass, the most common side-effect of Crohn's). Blood in stools is common, thus diminishing key vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12 and folic acid. Painful gallstones and kidney stones are another side-effect. The impact of Crohn's Disease varies; it can be mild, moderate or severe. Whatever the case may be, it's essential to recognize the symptoms early. The longer Crohn's Disease goes undiagnosed and untreated, the longer its pernicious side-effects have on the body. Long-term side effects include things like infection of the abdominal wall, scaring of the pancreas or even colorectal cancer.
