What will happen to me now that I have Crohn’s disease?
First, you should know that Crohn’s disease can be treated. Your gastroenterologist will work with you and your family to decide which treatment will work best for you. Kids with Crohn’s disease do have certain symptoms like pain and cramping in the lower abdomen (where the lower intestines are) and diarrhea. You could also feel tired and weak sometimes and it may take you a little longer to catch up to the rest of the kids in terms of your height and weight.
