How To Avail Disability Tax Credit For Crohn’s Disease
What is Crohn’s Disease? Crohn’s disease causes inflammation which can strike anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. It is usually located in the lower portion of the small bowel, or the upper portion of the colon. This disease is currently non curable, however research is ongoing to find a cure.
Signs and Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease Signs and symptoms may range from mild to severe. These symptoms will tend to develop gradually over time; however some may occur abruptly without warning signs. General signs and symptoms include diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal pain and cramps, blood in the stool, mouth sores, reduced appetite, weight loss, and perianal disease.
Diagnosing Crohn’s Disease There is no test to determine if you have Crohn’s disease as the symptoms for this disease overlap with many other health problems. It is common to have multiple exams, lab tests, and imaging studies done to rule out other health problems with similar symptoms before clearly diagnosing a patient with Crohn’s disease.
How To Prevent Crohn’s Disease? Diet is very important to manage for someone with this disease as certain foods may trigger intestinal symptoms. It is important to avoid any trigger foods that cause gastrointestinal symptoms, especially during flares. By avoiding these foods, symptoms such as gas, bloating, abdominal pains, cramping, and diarrhea may be minimized.
