Crohn's diseaseA few thousand Belgians have Crohn's disease. What exactly is Crohn's disease? Crohn's disease involves long-term inflammation of the large and/or small intestine. The disease is associated with intestinal strictures, abscesses and mouth ulcers. The disease usually occurs between the ages of 15 and 40 and almost exclusively in industrialized countries. Crohn's disease causes gastrointestinal complaints, diarrhea and nausea in flare-ups. Ultimately, anemia, joint pain or anal discomfort may develop. The cause of the disease is an exaggerated inflammatory response of the intestine to substances that normally do not provoke a response. Although heavy consumption of refined sugars could trigger the disease, no link has yet been found between certain nutrients and Crohn's disease. A specific diet is not desired, but a varied diet should be strived for. Raw vegetables and fruits are better avoided during flare-ups.
