    Yes, Stress can sometimes be a trigger for a flare or relapse in symptoms of Crohn disease

    It can be very helpful for people with Crohn disease to chat with a psychologist to work out some ways that might help them to cope with or manage stress and stress-full situations in advance. Sometimes some simple strageties can make a big diference.
