Health Tip: Crohn's Disease Can Cause Complications
Here's what to look out for
By Diana Kohnle
(HealthDay News) -- Crohn's disease causes portions of the digestive tract to swell. This can trigger pain and cause the intestines to empty frequently.
Swelling and scar tissue can trigger dangerous complications, including a blockage in the intestines, the U.S. National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse says.
The agency says additional complications of Crohn's could include:
- Ulcers called fistulas that form in the intestinal tract and may tunnel to surrounding tissue.
- Malnutrition or vitamin deficiencies.
- Anemia.
- Slowed growth in children.
- Bone problems, including osteoporosis.
