Crohn’s Disease

Expert Crohn’s Disease Care at Premium Healthcare

At Premium Healthcare, we take a proactive, team-based approach to treating Crohn’s. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, support overall health, and minimize complications.

1. Accurate Diagnosis

A proper diagnosis is key to managing Crohn’s effectively. We start with a detailed history and evaluation, which may include:

• Blood tests to check for inflammation, anemia, or nutrient deficiencies 
• Stool studies to rule out infections 
• Imaging tests (e.g., CT scan, MRI enterography) 
• Colonoscopy or endoscopy with biopsy (via referral to a GI specialist) 

These tools help us confirm the diagnosis and assess disease severity and location.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

Crohn’s treatment is highly individualized, based on symptom severity, inflammation level, and how your body responds. Options may include:

• Anti-inflammatory drugs like aminosalicylates 
• Immune system suppressors (e.g., azathioprine, methotrexate) 
• Biologic therapies targeting specific immune pathways (e.g., infliximab, adalimumab) 
• Corticosteroids for short-term flare control 
• Antibiotics for complications like abscesses or fistulas 

We monitor treatment response closely and coordinate with gastroenterology specialists as needed.

3. Nutritional and Lifestyle Support

Crohn’s can lead to malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies due to poor absorption or food avoidance. We provide guidance on:

• Crohn’s-safe diets (e.g., low-residue, anti-inflammatory, or elemental diets) 
• Nutrient supplementation (e.g., B12, iron, calcium, vitamin D) 
• Hydration and electrolyte balance 
• Smoking cessation counseling 
• Exercise and rest balance to fight fatigue 

Nutrition plays a key role in reducing flare-ups and improving overall well-being.

4. Long-Term Monitoring and Care

Because Crohn’s is a lifelong disease, ongoing care is essential. We provide:

• Regular checkups to monitor disease activity 
• Medication management and adjustments 
• Lab tests and symptom tracking 
• Support for managing complications (e.g., strictures, fistulas) 
• Mental health referrals for anxiety, depression, or stress-related flares 

Our integrated care model keeps your health on track between flare-ups.
