Crohn’s Disease
Are you struggling with Crohn’s disease in John’s Creek, GA? Living with Crohn’s disease can present unique challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. At our gastroenterology clinic, we specialize in the comprehensive management of Crohn’s disease, offering personalized treatment plans to help you achieve better symptom control and improve your quality of life.


Understanding Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the digestive tract, causing inflammation and damage to the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can affect any part of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, but most commonly involves the small intestine and/or colon. Symptoms of Crohn’s disease may vary widely from person to person and can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and reduced appetite.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Our experienced gastroenterologists will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose Crohn’s disease and assess its severity and extent. This may involve reviewing your medical history, performing physical examinations, ordering blood tests, stool tests, imaging studies, and endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopy or upper endoscopy. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Treatment Options
Treatment for Crohn’s disease aims to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, and prevent complications. Our clinic offers a range of treatment options, including medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, biologic therapies, and antibiotics. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased portions of the intestine or repair complications such as strictures or fistulas. We will work closely with you to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on your circumstances.
Lifestyle Modifications
In addition to medical treatment, making certain lifestyle modifications can help manage Crohn’s disease and improve your overall well-being. This may include following a healthy diet that is low in trigger foods, staying hydrated, getting regular exercise, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and avoiding smoking.
