Crohn's is a complex problem noticed in the digestive system. Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation in the digestive tract and causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and fatigue. Although inflammation can affect different areas of the digestive tract in different people, it is common in the small intestine. The inflammation may also spread to a deeper level. Complex Crohn's is painful, and sometimes it becomes life-threatening. Although Crohn's disease may occur at any stage, it is common among people in their late teens or twenties.
