Crohn’s disease is a long-term inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. It causes persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss and tiredness, in flares that alternate with remission, and complications such as narrowing and fistulas can develop. This page explains the symptoms, causes, complications and conventional treatment of Crohn’s disease, and how Welling Homeopathy treats it.

Crohn’s disease at a glance
- What it is: a long-term inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract.
- Main symptoms: diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss, tiredness and sometimes blood in the stool or sores around the anus.
- Complications: narrowing, abscesses and fistulas (abnormal channels between the bowel and skin or other organs).
- Key tests: colonoscopy with biopsy, blood and stool tests, and scans.
- Our approach: individualised homeopathic treatment alongside your gastroenterologist’s care.
What is Crohn’s disease?
In Crohn’s disease the immune system causes patchy inflammation that can reach through the full thickness of the bowel wall, with healthy stretches of bowel between affected areas. Sometimes ulcers extend completely through the intestinal wall, creating a fistula – an abnormal connection between different body parts. Fistulas near or around the anus (perianal) are the most common kind.
Treatment is directed by a gastroenterologist and aims to settle flares and prevent complications. Nutrition matters, because Crohn’s can reduce the absorption of iron, vitamin B12 and other nutrients.
Symptoms of Crohn’s disease
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent diarrhoea
- Cramping abdominal pain, often in the lower right side
- Weight loss and loss of appetite
- Fatigue and anaemia
- Blood or mucus in the stool in some people
- Mouth ulcers
- Painful sores, fissures or abscesses around the anus
- Fever, joint pain and delayed growth in children
Causes and risk factors of Crohn’s disease
Common causes and risk factors include:
- An over-active immune response in the bowel
- A family history of inflammatory bowel disease and certain genes
- Smoking, which raises the risk and makes the disease worse
- Changes in the gut bacteria
- Gut infections and some antibiotics
- Aspirin-type painkillers, which can trigger flares
- Stress, which can worsen symptoms
- Environmental and dietary factors that are still being studied
How Crohn’s disease is diagnosed
Crohn’s disease is diagnosed by a gastroenterologist using tests such as:
- Colonoscopy with biopsies and ileoscopy
- Blood tests for anaemia, inflammation and nutrition
- Stool tests including calprotectin
- CT or MR enterography to see the small bowel
- Imaging of fistulas and abscesses around the anus, where relevant
Warning signs: when to get urgent help
Please go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately if there is:
- Severe abdominal pain with vomiting, a swollen abdomen and being unable to pass stool or gas, which may be a blockage
- Fever with severe pain or a tender lump in the abdomen
- Heavy bleeding, dizziness or faintness
- A painful swollen area near the anus with fever or discharge of pus
- Dehydration with very little urine, dry mouth or confusion
Conventional treatment options
The main treatment is medicine to stop the inflammation and to prevent flare-ups and keep you in remission:
- Anti-inflammatory medicines and short courses of steroids for flares
- Immune-modifying medicines to keep the disease in remission
- Biologic medicines for moderate to severe disease
- Nutritional support, and treatment of anaemia and deficiencies
- Surgery for blockages, fistulas and complications, in a few people

Frequently asked questions about Crohn’s disease
1. What is the homeopathic treatment for Crohn’s disease?
Homeopathic treatment is individualised: the medicine is chosen after detailed case-taking, based on your symptoms and general health. Arsenicum album, Mercurius, Phosphorus and Sulphur are among those traditionally considered.
2. What are the first signs of Crohn’s disease?
Persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss and tiredness are common early signs, sometimes with mouth ulcers or sores around the anus. A gastroenterologist can confirm the diagnosis with a colonoscopy and scans.
3. What foods should I avoid with Crohn’s disease?
Triggers differ between people. Many find high-fibre raw food, spicy food, alcohol and fatty food worse during flares, while narrowing of the bowel may require a low-fibre diet. A dietitian can guide you.
4. Is Crohn’s disease the same as irritable bowel syndrome?
No. Crohn’s causes inflammation and damage to the bowel, shown by tests, while irritable bowel syndrome is a functional condition without such damage. They can look similar at first.
5. Can Crohn’s disease cause complications?
Yes. Narrowing, fistulas, abscesses and poor nutrition can occur, which is why regular follow-up matters.
6. Can I consult Welling Homeopathy online for Crohn’s disease?
Yes. You can share your reports and consult our specialists online from anywhere. We have been consulting patients online for 25 years.
7. Which is the best homeopathic medicine for Crohn’s disease?
There is no single best homeopathic medicine for Crohn’s disease. Arsenicum album, Mercurius solubilis, Phosphorus, Sulphur and Silicea are among the medicines traditionally considered, but the right medicine depends on your symptoms, what brings them on or eases them, your general health and your personality. At Welling Homeopathy our specialists choose it after a detailed case-taking, so please consult them rather than choosing a medicine yourself.
8. How long does homeopathic treatment for Crohn’s disease take?
The duration depends on how long you have had Crohn’s disease, how severe it is, what treatment you have already taken and your general health. Some people notice a change in their symptoms within weeks, while others need several months of regular follow-up. Your specialist will explain what to expect at your first consultation and review your progress at each follow-up.
9. Is it safe to take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for Crohn’s disease?
Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but you should always tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Please do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.
10. What are the early signs of Crohn’s disease?
Persistent diarrhoea, cramping pain in the lower right abdomen, weight loss, tiredness and sometimes mouth ulcers or sores around the anus are the usual early signs of Crohn’s disease.
11. What should I eat or avoid if I have Crohn’s disease?
Keep a food diary, eat small, frequent, nutritious meals and drink enough fluid. Many people find high-fibre raw food, spicy food and alcohol worse during flares, and a dietitian can guide you.
12. What is the difference between conventional and homeopathic treatment of Crohn’s disease?
Conventional treatment of Crohn’s disease uses anti-inflammatory medicines, steroids for flares, immune-modifying drugs, biologics and surgery for blockages and fistulas. Homeopathic treatment, in contrast, is individualised: the medicine is chosen for you as a whole person, after detailed case-taking, and is offered alongside the conventional care that your doctor advises.
13. Who is the best homeopathy doctor for Crohn’s disease in Mumbai?
Dr. Sourabh Welling, M.D., founder of Welling Homeopathy, Mumbai, who has over 25 years of experience, treats Crohn’s disease with individualised homeopathic care, together with a team of senior specialists. You can consult him and the team at our Mumbai clinics or online.

15. What is the difference between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis?
Crohn’s can affect any part of the gut from mouth to anus in patches, while ulcerative colitis is limited to the colon and rectum.
16. What complications can Crohn’s cause?
Strictures, fistulas, abscesses, malnutrition and anaemia, so regular follow-up matters.
17. Does diet matter in Crohn’s disease?
A balanced, nutritious diet and avoiding personal triggers help; during strictures, low-residue food may be advised. Please do not stop or change any prescribed medicine on your own; discuss any change with the doctor who prescribed it.
18. Will I need surgery for Crohn’s disease?
Many people need surgery at some point for strictures or fistulas, but good control of inflammation can delay or avoid it.
