The Symptoms Of Crohn’s Disease

CARE

Keep your status updated with current information to make sure you get the correct treatment you need to maximize your health and achieve your healthy goals.

TRUE OR FALSE

True or False: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system and increase your risk of illness.

True. Long-term stress elevates cortisol levels, which can suppress immune function and make the body more vulnerable to infections.

PICK YOUR VITAMIN

Vitamin pills (tablets and capsules) are more commonly bought and used than liquid vitamins. They dominate the market due to longer shelf life, easier packaging, and wide availability.

However, liquid vitamins are growing in popularity, especially among children, older adults, and people with difficulty swallowing pills, as they offer faster absorption and customizable doses.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

What is Olive Oil? Olive oil is usually a blend of refined and virgin oils, lighter in flavor and color, with fewer nutrients. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the highest quality, made from cold-pressed olives without chemicals, retaining more antioxidants and flavor.

Robust vs. Traditional Flavor which is better? Robust EVOO has a bold, peppery taste with higher polyphenol content, ideal for dipping or finishing. Traditional EVOO is milder, better for general cooking where a softer flavor is preferred.

Olive oil is highly beneficial. It's rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Regular use can support heart health, brain function, and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

DO I HAVE CROHN’S DISEASE

What is Crohn’s Disease? Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation anywhere in the digestive tract, most commonly the small intestine and colon. It’s an autoimmune condition, meaning the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue.

Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease:

• Abdominal pain or cramping

• Chronic diarrhea (sometimes with blood)

• Fatigue

• Unintended weight loss

• Reduced appetite

• Fever

• Mouth sores

• Joint pain or skin issues (in some cases)

Symptoms can range from mild to severe and often come in flare-ups followed by periods of remission.
