An inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease is a chronic condition that may recur at various times over a lifetime.
Although Crohn’s disease may cause inflammation in any area of the gastrointestinal tract, it most commonly affects the small intestine — most often, the lower part called the ileum — and colon.
