Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, generally without special changes to the anus. Typical symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bowel obstruction, nutritional disorders, and fever, among others. Complications can include intra-abdominal abscesses, bowel perforation, rectal bleeding, and malabsorption syndrome. The disease course tends to be recurrent and is not easily cured. Current treatments mainly involve medication and surgery. During active phases, it is important to focus on nutrition, rest, and supplementation of fluids and electrolytes to prevent imbalance. Enteral or parenteral nutritional support can also be used, and ample rest is essential. (Medication should be administered under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Early symptoms of Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease early in its onset is characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction. As the condition progresses, it can lead to anemia, nutritional disorders, eye involvement, joint involvement, and liver involvement. It is important to maintain a reasonable daily routine, eating multiple small meals that are high in calories but low in fat, and include a variety of vegetables. During active phases, bed rest should be observed, and a diet high in nutrition but low in fat should be provided, combined with medical and surgical treatments. The symptoms of Crohn's disease are prone to recurrence, and the prognosis is not particularly good. It is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.

Can people with Crohn's disease drink yogurt?

Patients with Crohn's disease can drink milk. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory lesion that occurs in the intestines, where the absorption and digestion functions are impaired. Drinking some yogurt appropriately can help the intestinal absorption function and assist in digestion. Due to the impaired absorption function of the intestines, symptoms such as fever and lowered immune function may occur. At this time, patients need to enhance their nutrition. The dietary principle should focus on eating smaller, more frequent meals that are high in nutrition and low in fat, such as lean meats, egg products, meat products, milk, and fish. It is also important to consume more vegetables to supplement vitamins, such as Chinese yam, carrots, and fresh green vegetables, and to ensure plenty of rest.

Can Crohn's disease be seen on a CT scan?

Crohn's disease cannot be determined solely by CT scans. A CT scan can be used to assess the general situation, which should then be combined with personal clinical symptoms, routine stool tests, and ideally, colonoscopy and blood tests to make an accurate diagnosis. Crohn's disease is an idiopathic disease, currently thought to be related to genetic factors, and inevitably linked to individual immune factors and dietary habits. A definitive diagnosis can be made through colonoscopy and pathological examination. Care should be taken to avoid consuming raw, cold, hard, spicy, and irritating foods.
