Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders – including celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease – can present with intra-oral manifestations. Oral manifestations of GI disease are more common in children compared to adults. In some cases, particularly with Crohn’s disease, the oral lesions can present in the setting of subclinical GI symptoms or can even present several months to years before any GI manifestations. Oral lesions are the primary presenting sign preceding gastrointestinal symptoms in as much as 60 % of patients with Crohn’s disease.
