Treatment of Crohn’s Disease

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Medicines or steroids, to reduce inflammation in the gut, are commonly used to treat Crohn’s disease when it first develops. They are usually taken in oral tablet form or as an enema (a tablet inserted into your anus), if the rectum or lower part of the colon are affected. 5-aminosalicylate medicines can be used as an alternative to steroids, to treat mild to moderate symptoms of Crohn’s disease. However, they do not always work and if symptoms are severe, steroids may be prescribed as an alternative.

There is some evidence that some foods, such as dairy products, may trigger the symptoms of Crohn’s disease and that resting the healthy gut may help, although the reasons behind this are not known. If symptoms are particularly bad and cannot be controlled using medicines, therefore, a strict diet may be recommended to help manage the condition. In most cases, after sticking to the diet for a few weeks, symptoms improve and a normal diet can be gradually resumed.

Anti-diarrhoeal medicines can be taken to firm up the stools, and painkillers may be needed at times when symptoms are particularly bad.

If other treatments do not work, surgery may be required to remove the affected part of the gut. Surgery may also be required to treat complications such as obstructions, abscesses or damage to your gut.

The future
The development of new medications for this  is ongoing, and it is likely that there will be a number of new treatment options available for the condition over the next decade.
