Crohn’s Disease in Children and Teens
Sometimes, drugs cannot keep Crohn’s disease under control. In those cases, surgery to remove a part of the bowel is sometimes needed. The disease, though, often returns to the area near where the inflamed part was removed.
A healthy lifestyle is important in managing Crohn’s. Children and teens should exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. People with this disease usually are able to lead a healthy and active life. Most children with Crohn’s are able to attend school and participate in sports and daily activities if the disease is treated and managed properly.
