Crohns Disease Treatment, Symptoms & Information

Crohns Disease treatment is a life-long commitment, as this chronic condition is marked by flare-ups and remission periods that sufferers will unfortunately be forced to deal with until the day a cure is finally found.

Seemingly out of nowhere you have to start considering medications, dietary changes, dealing with Crohns symptoms, and possibly one or more stays in a hospital. All of that works together with the general stress of life to affect the course of your disease.

When it all combines together -- you get fatigue. You feel tired, listless. I know. I've been there. Proper treatment is crucial, and it is important to learn everything you can about this debilitating condition.

Why I Created This Website

I was first diagnosed with Crohn's Disease 20 years ago. I believe I had suffered from it for many years before it was diagnosed. Until that moment, when a radiologist looking at x-rays told me to “have a seat, we need to call your doctor,” I had been told I had a nervous stomach. When you are told to have a seat so we can call your doctor, you know it's much more than a nervous stomach.

I’ve been where you are and still take medication to keep my disease under control. But I’ve been lucky. The only food or drink that causes me pain is alchohol. I was never a big drinker, but I do miss it some.

I haven’t had the pain that many have to deal with. I really believe a part of my success can be attributed to how hard I've worked to control my Crohns Disease symptoms and improve my general sense of wellbeing.

From this website, you will learn what Crohns is, what drugs are used for Crohn's Disease treatment, nutritional supplements that may help, how to determine what your particular stressors are, what to do about your symptoms, how to relax better, where to get support, a IBD diet, the role of humor in your life and the importance it plays. You can also read the stories of other people with symptoms and much more.
