35
crohn disease
chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract usually affecting the ileum and colon; characterized by cobblestone ulcerations and the formation of scar tissue that may lead to intestinal obstruction (also called regional ileitis or regional enteritis)
36
gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd)
the abnormal backward flow of the gastrointestinal contents into the esophagus causing heartburn and the gradual breakdown of the mucous barrier of the esophagus
