My 64-year-old dad was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and I read it's an autoimmune condition. What are the treatment options for autoimmune diseases like this? Is Crohn's curable or will he have it for life? Does he need surgery or is it managed with medication? Also, is it similar to cancer? We're really stressed and confused about what to expect.
Crohn's disease is a lifelong, chronic condition, not curable, but manageable through medication and potentially surgery. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing complications, aiming for remission, not a cure. Medication is the primary treatment, but surgery may be necessary for complications like bowel obstructions or strictures. Crohn's is not similar to cancer, though complications like colon cancer may require monitoring

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation. A week ago, I had a throat infection and was on medication for it, but then I started having stomach upset and loose motions. I decided to stop the medication, and I tried arrowroot powder to help. It seemed to work, but now, for the past three days, I've had stomach pain on both sides. I dont usually have issues with gastric acidity, but the pain gets worse when I walk, go upstairs, or take a deep breath. What should I do about this?
If the pain is severe, constant, or associated with symptoms like vomiting, fever, bloody stools, or significant tenderness, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, such as an intestinal infection or inflammation.
