Do You Need to Change Your Crohn’s Disease Care?
If you have Crohn’s disease, you’re probably used to compromises. Maybe you’re resigned to missing the occasional night out or used to having one or two flares a year.
But remission is possible, even if it’s not always easy to achieve. Sometimes, a treatment that works well for months — or even years — can lose its effectiveness. In other cases, the disease can change, causing new symptoms and body image issues that can take a toll on your self-esteem.
That’s where the right doctor comes in. A strong relationship with your healthcare provider is one of the backbones of inflammatory bowel disease treatment.
Don’t settle for “good enough” care. We tapped Rabia de Latour, MD, a gastroenterologist at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine in New York City, to guide you through a series of assessments that can help you prepare for your next appointment. These four assessments examine your diet, symptoms, quality of life, and treatment plan. Together, they can help you determine just how much Crohn’s disease is affecting you and where you might be able to make changes to feel your best.
