A member asked:
I have crohn's disease, can a rotavirus infection cause complications?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Rotavirus commonly affects young children rather than adults & causes watery diarrhea that usually goes away on its own in a few days.You may be able to get rotavirus if you are taking meds for crohns (they suppress your immune system & make it harder to fight off infections). It should not cause any long term complications. Drink plenty of fluids with electrolytes (ex gatorade) & see dr if needed.

Probably not: But it can worsen your symptoms for a while.
