Crohn’s symptoms: What is Crohn's disease, and what causes it?

What causes Crohn’s disease?

The cause of Crohn’s disease is still unknown, even though there has been plenty of research on the subject.

According to the Crohn’s and Colitis organisation, it is currently believed that Crohn’s could be caused by a combination of things.

Crohn’s could be genetic, so if you inherit certain genes you are more likely to get it.

It also could be caused by an abnormal reaction of the immune system to bacteria in the intestine.

The body tries to protect your system against these substances, and it causes inflammation in the gut.

Crohn’s could also be triggered by something in the environment such as viruses, bacteria, smoking, diet, stress, and certain medications.
