Crohn's Disease Causes

The exact cause of Crohn's disease remains unknown.

Current theories suggest that genetics, environment, diet, blood vessel abnormalities, and/or even psychosocial factors cause Crohn's disease.

Probably the most popular theory is that Crohn's disease is caused by the immune system overreacting to infection by a virus or bacterium.

Crohn's disease apparently is not caused by emotional distress.

Crohn's disease definitely runs in families. People who have Crohn's disease may have an inherited predisposition to abnormal immunologic response to one or more provoking factors.
