2. Inflammatory Bowel Syndromes
Inflammatory bowel syndromes can be a common cause of inflammation in various parts of the body, and it can also very often be one of the potential causes behind developing inflammation in the sacroiliac joint.
This is a blanket term for a variety of different conditions that include irritable bowel syndrome (commonly known as IBS), Crohn’s disease, chronic stomach ulcers or ulcerative colitis. What all of these related health conditions have in common is that they include severe (and sometimes even potentially fatal) inflammation of the stomach and bowels – usually with flare-ups triggered by certain things like a compromised immune system or a change in diet.
Health conditions like these will often trigger a range of symptoms throughout the body, including an increased likelihood to contract viruses and infections due to a compromised immune system as well as serious inflammation in other parts of the body, including the sacroiliac joint.
