Genetics may also play a role, since Crohn's disease can run in families.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain antibiotics are a few of the medications that can trigger Crohn's flares.
(Antibiotics change the balance of bacteria in the intestines, which can activate diarrhea even in people who do not have Crohn's disease.
Intestinal endoscopies are the most accurate methods for diagnosing Crohn's disease and ruling out other possible conditions, such as ulcerative colitis, diverticular disease, or cancer.
