Who might get enteropathic arthritis?

Enteropathic arthritis occurs in about 1 of every 5 people with IBD, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

It also may be associated with other conditions that affect the small intestine:

• Whipple disease, a rare bacterial infection.
• Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder.
• Intestinal bypass surgery.
• Inflammation after infection with Salmonella, Shigella or another bacteria.
