Crohn's Disease
A condition causing inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract, most often affecting the end of the small intestine and the start of the large intestine.
Who typically manages this
Gastrointestinal autoimmune conditions are managed by a gastroenterologist, often alongside a dietitian. Many patients find it useful to track how diet, stress, and medication timing relate to their own flare pattern over time.
Navigating care in South Africa
In South Africa, autoimmune conditions on the Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) Chronic Disease List may qualify for defined funding through your medical aid. AutoImmune Companion's Navigator maps the specialist referral pathway for each body system and explains PMB and funding basics in plain language — general information only, not a substitute for advice from your medical aid or specialist.
