But, it seems like more and more people have been diagnosed with chrons in the past few years. As more individuals are being treated, interviewed and studied, physicians have come up with a list of potential risk factors that seem to contribute to chrons at the very least, if not be one of the major causes of this often debilitating auto-immune disease.
