Day 6- Part 1 Irritable Bowel Syndrome Diet Crohns Symptoms
Crohn’s Disease is a painful and chronic infection of the gastrointestinal tract, that plagues those unfortunate enough to contract it for years and years. Today, however, some doctors and researchers feel this on-going suffering is totally unnecessary, requiring only a change in diet to eliminate most of the symptoms.
Most doctors follow the common approach of using drugs and or surgery to combat the disease, with most telling their patients that Crohn’s is not curable. Sufferers are told that the best they can hope for is an occasional remission or temporary cessation of the symptoms. During these common treatments the damage done to the intestinal tract by the disease continues unabated with the sufferer getting weaker and weaker.
Other doctors and researchers have started to look at the Western diet as the main culprit behind Crohn’s. Many doctors feel the foods consumed in the Western world or what is commonly called the American diet are just not healthy, causing more harm than good. This argument is backed up by the overwhelming numbers of people suffering life threatening illnesses such as obesity, cancer, heart disease, as well as Crohn’s Disease. To be sure, these illnesses do occur in other parts of the world, but not nearly in the numbers seen in America. It is only when American foods are introduced into a culture previously free of these problems, do you begin to see an increase in chronic illness mirroring the statistics recorded in America.
Scientists recommend immediate changes in lifestyle and diet in order to halt and then cure the damage done to the GI tract. These changes include removing all meat, dairy, eggs and other processed foods from the sufferer’s diet. Some researchers recommend moving to a raw food diet altogether, in order to remove any possibility of irritation to the body.
Proponents contend that a raw food diet will cure Crohn’s Disease completely. This way of eating is not new, having been around for hundreds of years. This diet consists of whole, raw fruits and vegetables, along with small portions of certain nuts, seeds and some fatty fruits. While it is not recommended, sufferers can proceed without doctor supervision by starting out simply, with non acidic raw fruits such as bananas, eating them as often as you feel hungry. Stick with simple fruits in the beginning because they are easiest to digest.
Vegetables, on the other hand, are difficult for the digestive system to handle, especially when it is already damaged. Early on, in fact, vegetables may bring back previous symptoms. Completely eliminate all cooked or processed foods from your regimen. Sufferers should begin to see and to feel changes in their system within one month. However it will take due diligence on this diet change for at least a year, before the symptoms abate completely. It is not uncommon to feel worse before you feel better. This is common while the body detoxes and corrects itself. Have patience that your body is healing itself and the cure is just around the corner.

Colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Diets to Help: Natural Relief With a Carefully Balanced Regime

Crohns Disease & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – Is There A Cure?

For the individuals who suffer from the mysterious symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or the debilitating symptoms of Crohns Disease the question “Is there a cure?” weighs heavily on their lives. The frustration that results from living with this non-specific illness serves to compound the never ending symptoms. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohn’s sufferers continue to battle the illness while researchers search for causes and cures.

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) describe Crohn’s as “Crohn’s disease is a chronic (ongoing) disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although it can involve any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon.”

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is described as “A group of symptoms, of unknown cause, characterized by unexplained fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, feeling poorly, trouble thinking, and sometimes, fever and/or lymph node swelling.”

There is currently no cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Chron’s Disease. There is no magic pill, no immunization, and no medication that can rid sufferers of the debilitating symptoms of CFS and CD. However, individuals who suffer from CFS and CD can successfully manage their symptoms. Using current interventions including prescription medications, alternative therapies, and a comprehensive nutritional plan, CFS and CD patients can find relief.

Upon receiving a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Crohns Disease, the patient is advised to seek as much information as possible from current and reputable sources. Because little is still known about CFS and CD, information is limited but available. Reliance on sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and the medical research departments of large universities will yield the best information. CFS and CD patients are advised to beware of quack treatments or anyone offering a “cure”. Armed with information, the CFS sufferer can assist in making the most viable choices for his or her treatment plan.

A reasonable treatment plan should include a combination of therapies. By discussing a plan with a competent medical professional, the patient can assist in developing the best plan for him or her. A medical professional may prescribe prescription drugs that may alleviate the constant fatigue or intestinal pain that accompanies CFS and CD. In addition to prescription medications, seeking the help of a nutritionist will assist in managing the illness. It is common knowledge that a good diet can assist in recovering successfully from many illnesses – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohns are no exception. A reasonable nutritional plan may not only include a diet of whole foods, but may also include nutritional supplements. Additionally, the CFS and Crohns sufferer may find relief with the assistance of alternative therapies. Hypnosis, yoga, massage and other forms of relaxation can provide much needed relief from symptoms.

Although Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohns cannot yet be cured, sufferers can successfully manage their illness using a multi-pronged treatment approach. Being among some of the most difficult illnesses to manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohn’s Disease management involves several major lifestyle changes. Commitment to these lifestyle changes may well be the key to ending, or at least, minimizing the suffering.
