Chrones Disease Symptoms

The diagnosis of Chrones Disease is often really difficult, the disease can occur at any age but it does seem as though that adolescence and early adulthood are the times of the highest risk.

Because current research says that the only way of getting Chrones disease is genetic, the only known risks seem to be through a family history of Chrones disease.

It also seems that people who have Jewish ancestry, and smoking also seems to increase the risk of Chrones.

Chrones disease is more common than most people thing as there are about 7 people in every 100,000 who have the disease.
