Summary

Most people with Crohn’s disease lead active lives with few restrictions. Although there is no known cure for the disorder, it can be managed with present treatments. There is increased emphasis on patients helping themselves by good dietary management, meaning adequate calories, vitamins, minerals and even prebiotic food fibers and probiotic bacteria. For a few patients, the course of the disease can be complicated, requiring extensive testing and therapy. Surgery sometimes is required. By working closely with your physician and managing your own emotional and dietary behavior, most patients will have a good long term outcome.
