Summary

Many people with Crohn's disease still have stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhea even when their disease is not active. This study tests if a low dose of amitriptyline, a drug already used for irritable bowel syndrome, can safely reduce those symptoms. About 100 adults with quiet Crohn's disease will receive either amitriptyline or a placebo for several weeks, and researchers will track side effects and symptom improvement.
