Gallstones
Crohn’s disease can have an impact on the end part of the small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing bile salts and vitamin B12. Unfortunately, in individuals with Crohn’s disease, the bile salts are excreted rather than being absorbed. As a consequence, the gallbladder becomes imbalanced in terms of bile and cholesterol levels, leading to discomfort and the development of gallstones. These gallstones can cause excruciating attacks that bear resemblance to the symptoms of a heart attack.
