5 Types of Crohn's Disease

Wendy_L

Being the mother of a young man with UC, I have to admit I did not know there were 5 different types of Crohn's disease. I'm attaching the link to the healthline article that I found, but I'm curious to know if those in our community with Crohn's know exactly which type they have:

• ileocolitis
• ileitis
• gastroduodenal Crohn’s disease
• jejunoileitis
• Crohn’s colitis

This is interesting. Based on what I know about the location of my disease, I'd assume I have ileocolitis, but this isn't something I've ever discussed with my doctor.
