Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the digestive tract. Symptoms often come and go in cycles, with periods of flare ups and periods of calm. At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, our gastroenterology service provides careful evaluation, clear guidance, and long term support to help patients manage Crohn’s disease and maintain the best possible quality of life.
Living with Crohn’s can be challenging, but with the right treatment plan and regular specialist follow up, many patients are able to control symptoms effectively and enjoy stable digestive health.
Crohn’s can affect any part of the digestive system from the mouth to the colon. Most commonly, it involves the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. The condition causes inflammation that may extend deep into the intestinal layers.
Although Crohn’s is a chronic condition, early diagnosis and proper management help prevent complications and reduce the intensity of symptoms.

Supportive strategies may include:
Monitoring and follow-up
Regular follow up is key to managing Crohn’s. This helps track progress, adjust medication, and address symptoms early before they escalate.
Flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections, food sensitivities, or changes in medication. When flare-ups occur, we adjust your treatment plan quickly to reduce inflammation and protect your digestive tract.
We also work with you to identify personal triggers so you can better control future episodes.
With proper treatment, many patients remain symptom-free for long periods. Early management reduces the risk of complications such as strictures, fistulas, or nutritional deficiencies. Our aim is to stabilise your condition and help you live as comfortably as possible.
