👉 The term "kakogenic" refers to a substance that can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms in individuals with certain conditions, such as Crohn's disease. This condition is characterized by an inflammation of the small intestine and leads to abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and sometimes fever.
