Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crohns disease can occur anywhere in the GI tract from the mouth to the anus and is most common in the terminal ileum. Maintaining a low-fiber, low-residue, and milk-free diet may give the child some relief; however, strict restrictions may not alleviate symptoms. Diarrhea and malabsorption from Crohns disease cause weight loss, anorexia, dehydration, and growth failure. Edema does not accompany this disease. Crohns disease is a long-term health problem. Symptoms do not typically disappear by adolescence.
