Crohn's Disease Symptoms

 

Crohn’s Disease is difficult to diagnose because it mimics other diseases. Common Crohn’s Disease symptoms includes a variety of gastrointestinal distresses as well as vague, non specific symptoms. However, there are  four classic symptoms that usually indicate Crohn’s Disease:

• Persistent or recurrent diarrhea and sometimes blood may be present.
• Abdominal pain and/or cramping sometimes radiating in the lower back or the right side.
• Low grade fever.
• Unexplained weight loss.
