Crohn’s can have a handful of common, easy to manage, symptoms, but there are a number of symptoms that are harder to handle. Dr. Peyton Berookim talked with “Prevention” on how you can manage 6 Crohn’s symptoms that prove to be more difficult to manage than the common ones. One Crohn symptom that falls under this category is ulcers forming in the stomach, mouth, or intestine due to gastrointestinal inflammation. Dr. Berookim explains that when this happens commonly used solutions, such as antacids, aren’t helpful in this situation.
This is just one of the numerous symptoms that can’t normally be treated without consulting with a doctor or specialist. Dr. Berookim notes that in some cases, you may need prescribed medication or possibly surgery. It is best to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to managing your Crohn’s symptoms.
