Ileitis
Ileitis is inflammation in the ileum, which is part of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by Crohn’s disease, but sometimes, other conditions, like infections or ischemia can cause it. Overuse of over-the-counter pain medications may also cause ileitis in some people.

Common Symptoms
- “I have painful bouts of diarrhea, and during these bouts, I have blood in my stool.”
- “I have abdominal cramping, along with a lack of appetite, which has caused weight loss.”
- “I developed fever and abdominal pain, and I had diarrhea that didn’t get better with over-the-counter medications.”
