Healing Crohn’s, Colitis and IBS Disease the Natural Way

Crohn’s disease is chronic, meaning that it never goes away or is cured. It is an inflammatory ailment that affects the entire gastrointestinal tract causing serious health complications. This illness dramatically affects quality of life for sufferers. It is not, however life threatening. Those with Crohn’s can expect to life a full lifetime with recurrent remissions. Men with the disease have a normal life expectancy of about 78 years while women may live a while longer on average. Morbidity attributed to Crohn’s is usually caused by untreated side effects and complication.

Symptoms vary from patient to patient and consequently there is no specific treatment. All treatment is crafted to fit the individual. Some common symptoms do include, anorexia, stomach pain, diarrhea, fever gas, bloating and dramatic weight loss. Sometimes there is blood and pus in the stool resulting from the damage done to the mucus lining of the bowels and intestines. Crohn’s is often complicated by malnutrition or the body’s inability to absorb the nutrients it needs to repair itself. In addition the immune system is compromised by the on going damage. Undigested food can accumulate and cause dangerous blockages in the intestines. Lesions and tears in the linings can sometimes cause spillage and damage to surrounding organs and force the need for surgical repairs.
No one has yet been able to pinpoint the exact cause of Crohn’s but there are a number of factors that contribute to its presence. These include poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, a compromised immune system as well as other environmental factors. Stress and anxiety are contribute to the discomfort felt by most sufferers.
Some researchers speculate that ridding the diet of processed foods, refined carbohydrates and fats along with the chemical additives and pesticides that go into food these days will go a long way in affecting a cure for Crohn’s. These same researchers blame the American way of eating as the main culprit behind all chronic illness existing in the world.
Other researchers and scientists are taking a closer look at the link between food allergies and symptoms of Crohn’s. All doctors routinely test for food sensitivities and allergies in connection to eliminate them as the cause of the problems. Common allergy foods are milk and dairy products, wheat, gluten, corn and chocolate to name just a few.
Many researchers feel that by restoring the natural biochemical balance in the body is the way to naturally cure Crohn’s. Naturally healing Crohn’s begins with removing all food triggers and harmful processed products as well as the pesticides and chemicals with which they are grown.

When Your Child Contracts Crohn’s Disease

Approximately 30% of those who suffer from Crohn’s Disease are diagnosed before the age of 20. The illness is a chronic condition, meaning there is no known cure. A child with unexplained weight loss, fatigue, joint pain, and stunted growth should be immediately evaluated by a doctor for signs of the disease. Experts estimate that more than 100,000 teenagers suffer from the debilitating disease in America.

Sometimes more serious symptoms appear requiring immediate attention. These symptoms include rectal bleeding, severe stomach pain, frequent diarrhea, and accompanied by vomiting. Crohn’s Disease is an inflammatory disease that attacks the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, which is what makes it distinctive from other irritable bowel problems. Crohn’s presents a special challenge for young sufferers as it may stunt growth and cause a delay in the onset of puberty as well as a weakening of the bones. The illness may keep a young person from taking part in the normal young activities causing emotional and psychological issues of having to live daily with a chronic disorder.

Conventional wisdom from the traditional medical community preaches that there is no known cause of Crohn’s, however some researchers are successfully using diet as way to combat the illness. Some even claim success at finding a cure through diet, specifically a raw food diet of organic fruits and vegetables. Doctors do admit that certain foods can trigger the symptoms of Crohn’s and that by eliminating these various foods from the diet, a sufferer can control outbreaks.

Researchers think Crohn’s is initially triggered genetically in combination with environmental factors. They speculate that genetically susceptible persons undergo an abnormal immune response setting off the disease. In other words, something will trigger the immune system to turn on, however it won’t turn off, continuing to cause inflammation. Crohn’s Disease apparently runs in families with 15-20% of those diagnosed also have a family member who similarly suffers. To date, several genes have been linked to the disease, but there is apparently no clear pattern as to how these genes may interact to cause the disease.

Each episode of symptoms depends on where the inflammation occurs. About 70% of young people have an inflamed ileum. More than half of these young people also suffer inflammation in segments of their colon. About 10% of young people must deal with inflamed colons only, while another 10% must learn how to live with inflammation in various parts of the small bowel. Some children and young people have stomach inflammation, that part of the intestine where the stomach empties into the bowel.

A child with a chronic condition like Crohn’s affect the lifestyle and living arrangements of the whole family. Depending on the age of the child, all others in the household become care givers for the one, which can cause stress, as well as buildups of resentments and feelings that life must revolve around the one. If this begins to manifest then it is wise for the entire family to seek counseling for any of several support groups, readily available to help families through crisis of this kind.

This typical diet is loaded with processed foods, fats and sugar Researchers favor changing the diet altogether by going back to a simpler, unprocessed way of eating that is also free of extra sugar. The argument for changing the way westerners eat is a compelling argument given the epidemics of obesity, cancer, heart disease as well as other illnesses along with IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease.
IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease is in fact just one of a number of illnesses that chronically affect all or part of the gastrointestinal tract.

Several bouts and attacks with certain symptoms will eventually result in IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease diagnosis.

Common symptoms of IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease are persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps and pain shortly after eating, fever and constant fatigue, weight loss and night sweats Other symptoms include rectal bleeding, and loss of appetite. Sometimes there is pain in the joints, eyes and skin. IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease can also lead to severe complications like an obstructed intestine, usually caused by swelling, ulcers and the formation of scar tissue. Another possible complication is the onset of malnutrition caused by the body’s inability to get the right nutrition to sustain itself on what food is being ingested. In addition, fissures, which are small tears or cuts may appear in the anal canal, along with pus filled abscesses or fistulas.

Doctors and researchers are not sure what causes IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. What is known is that it is chronic, meaning it is ongoing and incurable, and it is an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract that may come from the interaction of genetics, the environment and the immune system. Still other researchers blame the Western or American diet.

This failure to “turn off” causes the inflammation that damages the intestines resulting in the IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease diagnosis.

IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease can begin at any age, however, it strikes most people between the ages of 15 and 35, and most sufferers are white women of European descent.

Crohn’s can also be misdiagnosed as ulcerative colitis and diverticular disease. Further tests can clear up the confusion between the illnesses.

Some researchers and doctors feel that IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s Disease is curable with the right lifestyle changes and diet, and no medication necessary. None of the approaches taken to combat these disease’s are quick and easy. The sufferer must decide if they’re willing to live with the illness or do what is necessary to defeat it altogether, and act according with food and lifestyle changes.

How Do You Know You Have Crohn’s Disease

The symptoms and potential complications resulting from Crohn’s Disease are many and varied. Crohn’s affects the entire gastrointestinal tract with symptoms depending upon what part of the GI tract is inflamed at any particular point in time, with certain symptoms common to nearly all sufferers resulting in the eventual Crohn’s diagnosis.

These common symptoms are persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps and pain shortly after eating, fever and constant fatigue, weight loss and night sweats Other symptoms include rectal bleeding, and loss of appetite. Sometimes pain may be felt in the joints, eyes and skin. Crohn’s may also lead to severe complications like an obstructed intestine, usually caused by swelling, ulcers and the formation of scar tissue. Another potential complication is the onset of malnutrition caused by the body’s inability to obtain the right nutrition to sustain itself on what food is being ingested. In addition, fissures, which are small tears or cuts may appear in the anal canal, along with pus filled abscesses or fistulas.

Despite all of these symptoms and complications, regular medical doctors and researchers are still not sure what causes Crohn’s Disease. What is known is that it is chronic, meaning it is ongoing and theoretically incurable, and it is an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract that may come from the interaction of genetics, the environment as well as the immune system. Still other researchers attribute the cause to the Western or American diet. Whatever the cause, many researchers think the problem lies with a sufferer’s immune system, in that once the immune system activates, it doesn’t know how to turn itself back off. This failure to “turn off” causes the inflammation that damages the intestines resulting in the Crohn’s diagnosis.

Crohn’s can occur at any age, however, it strikes most people between the ages of 15 and 35, with most sufferers being white women of European descent. About 20% of all sufferers also have a sibling, parent or child who also suffers some form of GI tract irritation. It is believed that nearly half a million Americans suffer from Crohn’s Disease. The number could be greater because the symptoms are so similar to a number of other illnesses. So much so, that visiting a doctor is only the first step in what may turn out to be a very long process of recuperation and understanding.

There is no single test to diagnose Crohn’s so your doctor will order a battery of tests to eliminate all other possibilities, such as irritable bowel syndrome, which causes frequent but painless bowel movements without the involvement of inflammation. Celiac Disease is an allergic reaction to gluten, which damages the small intestine, brought on by eating wheat, barley and oats. Crohn’s can also be misdiagnosed as ulcerative colitis and diverticular disease. Further tests can clear up the confusion between the illnesses.

In addition to tests, doctors utilize an array of technique to diagnose Crohn’s including X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, MRIs, and barium enemas. The testing and diagnosis procedures can be long involved and expensive. Once determined most doctors will treat Crohn’s with medication, adhering to the general thinking that Crohn’s is not curable and sufferers must learn to live with it for the rest of their lives. Other researchers and doctors feel that Crohn’s is curable with the right lifestyle changes and diet, no medication necessary. None of the approaches taken to combat the disease are quick and easy. The sufferer must decide if they’re willing to live with the illness or do what is necessary to defeat it altogether.

Using Fish Oil to Combat Crohn’s Disease

Studies have shown that fish oil is effective in reducing the rate of relapse for those who suffer from Crohn’s Disease. Nearly two times the number of sufferers given omega three oils stayed in remission after one year on the regimen. Why is this so? Well, it seems there are positive correlations between Crohn’s and the fatty oil.

The fatty oil literally combats inflammation which is a major part of Crohn’s discomfort. It is a disease of involving inflammation of the entire gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. The Food and Drug Administration has already recommended that everyone add Omega 3 oils to their basic diet because it has proven to be a very healthy nutrient to intake. If you’re looking for a natural source then include salmon, sardines and cod in your weekly diet.

High quality supplements are another alternative because sometimes the fish you buy at the market is not fresh enough and arrives on your dinner table with its supply of fatty oil depleted. Supplements offer the purest form of omega 3 available on the market. Proponents of the fatty oil say taking omega 3 oils is better for sufferers of Crohn’s Disease than taking dangerous and potent anti inflammatory drugs that cause more problems than they cure, and that is before the side effects set in. Many patients and now doctors are recommending a more natural way to manage chronic illnesses like Crohn’s Disease.

Fish oil benefits other organs and systems in the body as well, including the cardiovascular system, the brain and all of the other systems. It helps relieve the pain of arthritis, which is a condition that many Crohn’s sufferers develop as their illness drags on over the years. The beneficial connection between fish oil and Crohn’s is still being studied, so it is advisable to consult your physician or health care provider before taking fish oil supplements. Seek out a registered dietitian who can lay out a menu plan for incorporating more fish and natural fish oil sources into your diet.

No one knows what really triggers Crohn’s. It is thought to be a combination of triggers that are environmental, and genetic. More than half a million Americans are sufferers of Crohn’s with most onset happening between the ages of 15 and 20. Although it can happen at any point in life. It is not considered fatal, however certain conditions that accompany Crohn’s can cause death if left untreated for a period of time. Recurring symptoms include: constant diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, gas, and bloating, as well as blood in the stool and urine. If you have these symptoms consult a physician as soon as possible to be tested.

Diet For Crohn's Disease: A Treatment Choice

Posted on June 23, 2011 by admin

Diet For Crohn’s Disease: A Treatment Choice

When you are afflicted with inflammatory bowel syndrome, one of the healthiest options to turn to would be a diet for Crohn’s disease. Many health practitioners consider diet as one of the most helpful factors which can eliminate the possibility of disease reoccurrence. While diet may be a very important factor in the treatment process, we all need to remember that medications and other therapeutic recommendations should be taken into account. They should all work hand in hand to fully eliminate the chances of another Crohn’s outbreak.

Diet for Crohn’s Disease: Watching Your Fluid Intake

Perhaps the best diet for Crohn’s disease is increasing your fluid intake. Although this may sound very simple, it helps a lot during the treatment process. We all know that Crohn’s disease causes water elimination form the body which can result to dehydration. So to avoid such an event from occurring, we need to maintain a water intake that can compensate for the water lost during the disease attack. The diet for crohn’s disease through water therapy is one of the proven ways which help alleviate the patient’s condition.

Diet for Crohn’s Disease: Foods to Eat

In a diet for crohn’s disease, there are certain foods to eat which can help cure the suffering intestinal walls. A balanced nutritional intake of protein and carbohydrate is very essential. However, you have to lessen your fat intake to a minimum as fat is a known trigger factor to Crohn’s disease. You are also advised to eat foods which are healthy and which are enriched with all the essential food supplements.

Fruits and vegetables can cover well to the supplements needed by the body. However, you need to be careful with them especially if the person is in the flare up stage of the disease. Fruits and vegetables can turn into culprits if taken during the attack phase.

Diet For Crohn’s Disease: Foods to Avoid

A diet for Crohn’s disease would also tell us which foods to avoid; this is because there are some foods or food products which can cause the return of the disease. For example, gas forming foods such as cucumber and popcorn distends the stomach and allows for more air to enter causing pain and discomfort. Other harmful foods during the disease’s acute phase would be spicy foods and foods which are high in fat content. They should be avoided because they are not tolerated by the body whenever a person is in the acute stage. Fiber foods are also considered to cause more discomfort during the flare up stage. Thus, avoidance of such would be greatly necessary in the treatment plan.
