Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Gastroenterologist: Input is what you need for better management of your case, there are several treatments available to control Crohn's disease, if already seen a specialist, seek a second opinion if not getting better, it's your right. Online help alone with such complex disease isn't a good idea, best wishes
