Crohns Disease Symptoms and Natural
Treatments
Crohn's disease is very similar to colitis
in that recurring attacks of inflammation cause abdominal cramping
and frequent urging along with diarrhea.
The diarrhea can be so problematic that it causes anxiety and
distress. Poor appetite and weight loss are common.
Although the small intestine is usually affected, any part of
the digestive tract can be affected by inflammation, including
the mouth and stomach. Since the small intestine is
responsible for the absorption of many nutrients, vitamin
and mineral deficiencies are even more common than with
colitis. As in other inflammatory bowel diseases, the
attacks range from mild to severe, with younger people being
more affected.
Crohn's disease is a serious inflammatory illness because changes
in the intestinal mucous membranes leave tissues thickened with
scars, which hinders the assimilation of nutrients from the
intestines. Intestinal bleeding can cause anemia.
The inflammation of crohn's disease has been attributed
to an autoimmune process, but diets containing fast
foods, refined foods, and sugars which are lacking in fiber
and fresh raw foods, are problematic. Friendly
bacteria (probiotics) promote good digestion and help to
normalize bowel function.*
High quality fiber
is excellent in promoting healing by lining the walls of the
intestinal tract, thereby protecting it from irritation by toxins
and abrasive matter.* The formula should be gentle, finely sifted,
and contain mucilage to soothe and reduce inflammation of the
intestinal wall. Alfalfa leaves are also necessary to provide
essential nutrients for healing and to promote natural cell
development.
Supplementation for crohn's disease should focus on
reducing inflammation and supporting the healing of the mucous
membranes. It is also important to supply the nutrients
that are lost because of poor assimilation and medication use.
Also, itching all over the body could indicate liver involvement,
which may be greatly helped by taking a gentle colon
cleanse along with a liver
cleanse.*
