Here at Digestive Medicine Associates, we understand the challenges that those with this chronic gastrointestinal disorder face. Life for a Crohn’s disease sufferer can vary drastically day to day.

Since Crohn’s disease is a progressive disorder, this means that if it’s left untreated the problem will often get worse. Even though symptoms may come and go don’t be deceived when the symptoms go away. They will come back and it doesn’t mean the disorder is gone.
Even though there is currently no cure for Crohn’s disease there are many prescription and over-the-counter medications and treatment options at your disposal here at Digestive Medicine Associates and we are happy to help you determine the right treatment for you to reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms.
