Regional Enteritis
Inflammation frequently occurs at the end of the small intestine that joins the large intestine, but the condition may affect any area of the digestive tract. As a result of the immune attack, the intestinal wall becomes thick, and deep ulcers may form. In order to qualify a claimant must have regional enteritis documented with x-rays or some other electronic techniques.
