When to see a doctor about Crohn's disease
People who have any of the symptoms associated with Crohn's disease should see a doctor for proper diagnosis to confirm this condition (or to rule it out and confirm another diagnosis).
It is important to see a doctor and not self-medicate, because Crohn's disease can cause major damage to the intestines and can cause complications if left untreated for a prolonged period.

People with existing Crohn's disease need to see their doctor (and registered dietician) on a regular basis, to monitor their condition, to ensure they are not suffering from complications and to help with dietary management.
People with existing digestive disorders such as leaky gut syndrome or IBS may also need to see their doctor to rule out Crohn's disease.
