Research Notes on Crohn's Disease in Children and Teens Treatment


Children and teens with Crohn's disease are most often treated by a team of health care providers which can include a nutritionist and gastroenterologist. Treatment goals include managing the symptoms of Crohn's disease and controlling inflammation. Medications such as anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, and immune-suppressing medications may be prescribed as treatment.1 If medications fail to work effectively, surgery may be considered.2

Fast Facts:

  • Children and teens with Crohn's disease should follow a high-calorie, well-balanced diet as part of a nutritional therapy plan.1
  • Treatment options depend on the how well the child responds to treatment and the amount of inflammation that is present.3
  • Surgery for Crohn's disease would consist of removing part of the intestine.2
  • Get food tips for managing Crohn's symptoms in our slideshow on the best and worst foods for Crohn's disease.
