Possible Causes of Chron’s disease

Irregular toxin elimination may have a contributing factor, but the real cause of Chron’s disease is until now unknown. It is believe that Chron’s desease is genetic in nature, but to point out exactly what causes the disease is until now studied by the experts. The abnormal function of XBPI gene which is responsible for protein response in the body of the endoplasmic reticulum was identified by the experts to have a significant role in IBD (inflammation of bowel disease). Diet that lacks protein and fiber is also believed to have a contributing factor that causes Chron’s disease. Smoking has been shown to increase the risk of the disease. Our immune system also often evoke as the cause of Chron’s disease. Our immune system plays a retroactive and attacks our body more specially the intestine instead of protecting it. A variety of bacteria was also assumed being the cause of Chron’s disease. But this bacteria only attacks when the host or patient’s immune system is weakened. Patient who manifest the symptoms will under go a complete blood count. When blood test is done, the patient may show anemia which later identified as lack of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the ileum. There are several contributing factor of anemia . This include medicines used in treating IBD.

Chron’s disease and ulcerative disease are both IBD disease that affects the colon. The only difference of the two is that the Chron’s disease abnormality in the terminal ileum is common. Colon involvement and around the anal region is also common. Involvement of the bile duct is not significant. The distribution of the disease is in lesions. Endoscopy shows ulcers in a patchy areas. Chron’s disease inflammation is deep into the tissue.

Lifestyle changes can signifantly reduce the risk of developing Chron’s disease. Dietary adjustment like eating more protein rich foods and fiber foods is very essential. Eating of small meals frequently is better rather than eating one big meal. Smoking cessation. Exercise and enough sleep.
