Research Notes on Crohn's Disease Prevention
There is no way to prevent Crohn's disease because the exact cause of the disease is unknown.1 There are steps you can take to reduce the severity of the illness though. Your doctor can prescribe medication that can keep the disease in remission and may reduce the chances of experiencing a sudden attack.2
Fast Facts:
- Regular exercise can aid in reducing the severity of Crohn's disease.
- Medications that contain acetaminophen can be used to reduce the pain caused by Crohn's disease.2
- Eating a healthy diet and not smoking can reduce the chances of having an sudden acute attack.2
- Ensuring adequate intake of vitamins and nutrients between flare-ups can decrease the possibilities of experiencing complications from the disease.1
