What is characterized by non-caseous granulomas, a transmural pattern of inflammation, abdominal pain, and diarrhea?

Crohn's disease
Ulcerative colitis
Celiac disease
Irritable bowel syndrome

The correct answer is: Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that is characterized by specific symptoms, including non-caseous granulomas, a transmural pattern of inflammation (involving the entire wall of the intestines), abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Crohn's disease is often confused with other gastrointestinal disorders, such as ulcerative colitis, due to similar symptoms, but its distinct features distinguish it from these other conditions. Celiac disease, on the other hand, is characterized by an autoimmune reaction to gluten and does not involve granulomas or inflammation of the intestinal wall. Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional disorder that does not cause inflammation or granulomas and has a different set of symptoms, including bloating and changes in bowel habits. Therefore, Crohn's disease is the most appropriate answer for this question.
