Symptoms Of Chrons Disease
Published on May 19 2010, in the categories: symptoms
• Ciclosporin. This powerful drug that is commonly used to treat fistulas related to Crohn's disease symptoms is reserved for patients who do not respond well to other drugs - but has significant potential side effects.
-Antibiotics for Crohn's disease symptoms:
-Metronidazole. Until recently the most widely used antibiotic for Crohn's disease, metronidazole can sometimes cause serious side effects, including numbness in hands and feet, and occasional muscle pain or weakness.
-Ciprofloxacin. This drug, which eases the symptoms of patients with Crohn's disease is now generally preferred to metronidazole. Ciprofloxacin may cause fainting, cardiac arrhythmias, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fatigue.
-Other drugs:
In addition to controlling inflammation, certain medications may help relieve symptoms. Depending on the severity of Crohn's disease, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following: Anti-diarrhea, laxatives, analgesics, iron supplements, injections of vitamin B-12
-Surgery: If diet and lifestyle changes, drug therapy or other treatments will ease symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the damaged portion of the digestive tract or to close fistulas and remove scar tissue. No surgical cure for Crohn's disease. In the best case, surgery can give you several years of remission. In the worst case, can give temporary improvement in symptoms. Even with the removal of all diseased parts of the intestine, inflammation recur frequently in previously healthy portions of the intestine after months or years after surgery. Therefore, surgery in Crohn's disease is primarily used for:

1. Removal of sick segment of small intestine that causes obstruction.
2. Pus draining from the abdominal and peri-rectal abscess.
3. Treatment of severe anal fistulas does not respond to drugs.
4. Resection of internal fistulas (such as fistula between colon and bladder) that can cause infections.
-Personal Care: Diet
• Limit consumption of lactate products. Like many people with inflammatory bowel disease, you may find that problems such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and flatulence shrinks when narrow or eliminate lactate products. You could be lactose intolerant - which mean you can not digest sugar (lactose) found in lactate products. If so, try to replace milk with yogurt or cheese with small amount of lactose, for example schweizer or cheddar. You can also use a helper enzyme to dissolve the lactose. In some cases, you have yet to completely remove lactose. If you need help, call a dietitian to make a healthy diet with low content of lactose.

• Try to eat no fat, fiber, and difficult detour food, beans, cabbage and broccoli, fresh fruit juice and fruit - especially citrus fruits - spicy food, popcorn, alcohol, caffeine, foods and drinks that contain caffeine as example chocolate and fizzy drinks. Eat small amounts, drink plenty of fluids, and try multivitamins.
-Stress: Although no cause Crohn's disease, stress can worsen symptoms and trigger seizures. Regular exercise, yoga, massage or meditation, progressive relaxation exercises, deep breathing, hypnosis can help.
-Crohn briefly:
• Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease.
• The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown.
• Crohn's disease can cause ulcers in the small intestine, colon, or both.
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, weight loss are symptoms of Crohn's disease.
• Crohn's disease can cause small bowel obstruction.
• Crohn's disease may be associated with red and painful nodules that appear on the skin, and swollen joints, spine, eyes and liver.
• Diagnosis of Crohn's disease is the administration of barium enema, barium radiography of the small intestine, and colonoscopy.
• The choice Crohn's disease treatment depends on the location and severity.
• Crohn's disease treatment includes medications to reduce inflammation and immune suppression, antibiotics and surgery.
