Crohn's Disease
Personalized Care for Crohn’s Disease
Are persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding, or unexplained weight loss affecting your daily life? Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can cause recurring digestive symptoms and requires ongoing evaluation and treatment.
Crohn’s disease develops when the immune system causes ongoing inflammation in the digestive tract. Genetics, environmental factors, smoking, changes in gut bacteria, and an abnormal immune response may contribute to its development.
Unlike ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the digestive tract and may involve deeper layers of the bowel wall.
- Persistent or recurring diarrhea
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Blood in the stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Reduced appetite
- Fever during periods of active inflammation
Dr. Tieng will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, and previous test results. Blood tests, stool studies, colonoscopy with biopsies, imaging, or other diagnostic testing may be recommended to identify inflammation and determine which areas of the digestive tract are affected.
Treatment depends on the location and severity of inflammation and may include anti-inflammatory medications, immune-modifying therapies, nutritional support, and ongoing monitoring. The goal is to control inflammation, relieve symptoms, promote healing, and maintain remission.
Continued follow-up is important even when symptoms improve. Monitoring can help detect ongoing inflammation, guide treatment adjustments, and reduce the risk of complications.
Personalized Crohn’s Disease Care
Dr. Tieng provides individualized care focused on controlling inflammation, managing symptoms, and supporting long-term digestive health.
Persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding or unexplained weight loss may require an IBD evaluation.
