What is Chrohn’s disease?
Chrohn’s disease afflicts many people, causing them many problems that are difficult to deal with emotionally and physically. Chrohn’s disease is a disease of the digestive system that usually afflicts the bowels and intestines with swelling and irritation. Bowel problems often occur from Chrohn’s disease, including diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea robs you of important nutrients, vitamins, and proteins. Even if you’re eating a healthy diet to begin with, Chrohn’s disease can sap the benefits of that diet and leave you feeling tired, depressed, fatigued, and weak. You might feel cramped, swollen, and dizzy; you might feel uneasy in your stomach and mind.
