Is it common? 

Crohn’s is less common in children than adults. Like ulcerative colitis, it is a type of IBD.

Research from 2022 reports that 10 in 100,000 children in the United States and Canada have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. It also notes that this number is rising.

This suggests that eventually, most pediatric practices will treat at least one child with Crohn’s disease.
