Crohn’s disease is an incurable inflammatory bowel disorder that causes severe pain and diarrhea. Recently, a study had patients with Crohn's disease undergo testing for PTSD and the results were shocking. The researchers found that Crohn’s patients with PTSD were more than 13 times likelier to experience worsening symptoms than those without PTSD. The findings of this study hint at the possibililty of the two diseases being related in some way which could lead to many further studies in the future.
