The result is a hyperactive immune response that leads to a chronic inflammation, called <strong>auto-immune disorder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People with Crohn&#8217;s disease have an ongoing (chronic) <strong>inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract<\/strong>. Crohn&#8217;s disease can happen in any area of \u200b\u200bthe gastrointestinal tract and can be healthy patches of tissue between diseased areas. Continued inflammation leads to thickening of the intestinal wall.<\/p>\n<p>There are<strong> five different types of Crohn&#8217;s disease<\/strong>, depending on the part of the gastrointestinal tract that is affected. Crohn&#8217;s disease can involve the small intestine, large intestine, rectum or mouth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A person&#8217;s genes and the environmental factors seem to play an important role in the development of Crohn&#8217;s disease<\/strong>. The body can being overreacting to normal bacteria in the intestines.<\/p>\n<p>The disease can show up at any age, but usually occurs in people between <strong>15 and 35 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Risk factors:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Family history of Crohn&#8217;s disease<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pre.shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/services\/anti-tobacco-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smoking<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Stress<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You may feel worried, sad, embarrassed or depressed about having a bowel accident.
