CROHN'S - COLITIS
What kinds of physical support can caregivers provide?
For a variety of reasons, people with Crohn's Disease often feel tired or fatigued. This can make it difficult for some patients to take care of day-to-day activities on their own, such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, and shopping. Caregivers can help with these kinds of activities and lessen the amount of physical demands on a patient, especially during flare ups.
Symptoms caused by CD such as urgency and incontinence can be very challenging to deal with, especially outside of the home where bathrooms may not be quickly or easily accessible. Caregivers can help a patient with CD by helping to locate the nearest bathrooms in advance in public locations or at social events. Another suggestion is for caregivers to keep an "emergency kit" (moist wipes, a change of clothes, or other useful items) on hand during times when the person with CD will be outside of the home. Being able to deal with emergency situations as quickly and discreetly as possible can help the patient with CD to feel more secure about going out.
