2. Suppressing inflammation not only offers relief from common symptoms like fever, diarrhea, and pain, it also allows your intestinal tissues to heal.
3. Medication includes corticosteroids, Amino salicylates, Immunomodulators, antibiotics, and Biologic Therapies.
B. Diet and nutrition
1. By retaining a proper diet the symptoms of Crohns Disease may be reduced substantially.
2. Eating bland food reduces many of the discomforting symptoms of the disease.
C. Surgery
1. *About 70 percent of people with Crohn’s disease eventually require surgery.
