Crohns Disease Was Your Diagnosis? Now What?Free yourself from Crohns symptoms. Leave Crohns disease pain and inflammation behind. Crohns disease is a very unpleasant condition to have. I can confirm that from my own experience as a patient.
But as a pharmacist knowing too much about the side effects of the medications puts me in less favorable position than other patients because I get less compliant with the therapy. So too much knowledge is not always great (not in this case at least). Honestly, I think that many patients are not at panic learning that they have Crohns disease because they don’t know much about it. I was so upset when finally diagnosed with Crohns disease (previously I was misdiagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, more about it in my story). Even though I probably had the symptoms all my life I was terrified to hear my diagnosis because in pharmacy school it was made to sound that Crohns was almost as bad as cancer. I remember thinking “those poor patients must suffer tremendously” and one day I hear “you definitely have Crohns!”. The irony of life… I think that other patients sometimes get less nervous about receiving this diagnosis because it’s not that common and it’s not that well known. But the numbers of newly diagnosed Crohn disease patients increase every year. 
Crohns disease is an autoimmune disorder. This means that the body attacks its own cells thinking their own cells are foreign “invaders”. This causes fever, pain and other inflammatory reactions. This disease varies from mild to severe. This disease can have a flare-up (active) stage and remission stage (not active disease stage). It’s considered as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Another IBD is Ulcerative colitis (UC) that has similar symptoms with Crohns but in most cases UC can be differentiated from it.
Crohns doesn’t have a cure but that is not surprising because the actual cause is also still unknown. There are many possible causes that really have to be researched carefully by each newly diagnosed patient because avoiding a possible trigger can possibly help you tremendously with your
symptoms
(for example try to avoid any kind of sugar for at least a month an that can make you feel much better).
There is more and more information about Crohn disease on the web but it’s so important to be selective with whom you trust. When I was looking for credible information I was lucky to have medical knowledge to be able to identify “fraud” information and products. I was also lucky to find a licensed medical doctor who practices alternative therapy because this was what I ultimately wanted. Don’t get me wrong! I believe that traditional medicine is great. It saves lives and it saves Crohns patients from death when having a bad flare up or bleeding. But I do believe that when you start to get better more natural and holistic approach should be added to the conventional therapy until the medications are decreased to a minimum or zero.
