      Crohn's disease, also known as Crohn syndrome and regional enteritis, is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, causing a wide variety of symptoms. It primarily causes abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if inflammation is severe), vomiting, or weight loss,[1][2][3] but may also cause complications outside the gastrointestinal tract such as anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye,tiredness, and lack of concentration.[1] Crohn's disease is caused by interactions between environmental, immunological and bacterial factors in genetically susceptible individuals.
