Select one chronic GI disease or disorder such Crohn’s Disease, IBS, or diverticulosis.

I will be discussing Crohn’s Disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn’s is characterized by inflammation of any part of the digestive system and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss and fatigue (Gibson & Solomon , 2020). 

The exact cause of Crohn’s is unknown but it is believed to be related to an overactive immune response which causes inflammation within the intestines . Genetics also appear to play role in some cases although environmental factors may contribute as well . Certain lifestyle choices including smoking high stress levels lack physical activity may increase risk developing condition.( Gibson &Solomon ,2020 )

In terms management there few different options available depending on severity symptoms . Treatment often involves medications such steroids anti-inflammatory drugs help reduce inflammation suppress immune system antibiotics combat infection dietary modifications ease digestion supplements ensure proper nutrient absorption. Additionally certain lifestyle changes such quitting smoking exercising regularly maintaining healthy diet reducing stress essential aiding recovery process( Gibson & Soloman , 2020 ).

In conclusion while there currently no cure for Crohn’s Disease understanding condition taking steps prevent flare-ups properly managing flares when they occur important helping individuals live normal lives despite having chronic illness.( Gibson & Soloman , 2020 )
