“…Crohn disease patients, particularly self-conscious children and teenagers, should be encouraged to report their symptoms openly so that treatment can be initiated faster and complications can be minimized (Baron, 2002). No healthcare provider knows a patient as well as the patient knows him-or herself, so it is up to the patient to inform the healthcare provider of what works, what does not work, and what further treatment options he or she would like to try.…”

“…Because elemental nutrition and placebo produce similar side effect profiles that sharply contrast with the devastating side effects of corticosteroids, these feedings may be a more appropriate treatment for pediatric patients and patients with mild to moderate flare-ups who cannot tolerate the side effects of other medications (Baron, 2002). The limited palatability of elemental feedings and patients' resistance to the insertion of feeding tubes reduce their use in the United States.…”

In Crohn disease, a vigorous inflammatory cascade is caused by the overactivation of helper T-cells in the gastrointestinal system. The results of this inflammation manifest themselves as the symptoms of Crohn disease. This article describes the pathophysiology of Crohn disease as well as multiple pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions that may assist patients with Crohn disease in preventing exacerbations and maintaining longer remissions.

Little is known about what it is like to live in adolescence with a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This article reports the findings of a small qualitative study that explored the experience of four New Zealand youth aged between 16 and 21 years, who had been recently diagnosed with Crohn disease. Semistructured interviews focused on discovering the youth' thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of living with this condition. Analysis of the transcribed data is presented thematically. The findings reveal stress as integral to living with Crohn disease. They illuminate the paradoxical relationship between fear and hope and provide insight into what helps and what hinders young people's ability to cope with the disease and its treatments. Collectively, these three themes describe the ways in which the lives of young adults are drastically and almost irreparably changed by Crohn disease. The findings contribute to the "promoting wellness" literature and will inform those who support the increasing number of young people living and coping with a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
