Crohn's disease is a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This is considered a chronic condition, which means you will have it for the rest of your life. The exact cause of the disease is still unknown. Early detection and diagnosis from the early stages of the disease help you avoid serious complications and get better treatment.

Crohn's disease often goes undiagnosed for a long time. Both men and women are at equal risk for Crohn's disease, and symptoms can begin at any age. However, it most commonly appears in adolescents between the ages of 15 and 35.

Crohn's disease and lactose intolerance both affect the digestive tract and have similar symptoms. It is important to pinpoint the exact condition you have, as Crohn's disease is very serious and can become dangerous if left untreated.
