Natural Treatments For Crohn's Disease

What Exactly is Chrohn's Disease?

So, what is Crohn's disease and what are its symptons? Crohn's disease (2 million cases diagnosed in North America and 95,000 in the United Kingdom) is an inflammatory condition of the digestive tract which leads to fistulas, ulcers and obstructions in the large or small intestines. It may be an auto-immune disease or occur as a result of lower than normal gastric acid secretions. Complications are not restricted to the intestines and can result in arthritis and inflammation in the eyes.

Natural Treatments For Chrohn's Disease vs Prescribed

There may be no sign of the disease for several months and then suddenly an individual starts to experience further symptoms. You must understand what your flare up triggers are as they can vary between individuals so you know what to avoid. Sufferers of Crohn's disease may choose to take natural remedies rather than prescribed medications because they are cheaper. Natural treatments of Crohn's disease help the natural healing processes of the body and may reduce chances of relapses.

The All Natural Crohn's Disease Treatment

It is essential that appropriate diets should be followed for natural treatments to be successful. Avoiding yeast, wheat and milk brings relief to many sufferers of the disease. Having a good intake of Omega-6 fatty acids (sesame seed, corn oil) and Omega-3 fatty acids (Flaxseed oil, oily fish such as trout and salmon) has been shown by research to lessen the risk of developing Crohn's disease and improve chances of achieving remission.

Do Steroids And Antibiotics Work On Crohn's Disease?

If taken daily (initially one teaspoon, steadily increasing it to one tablespoon), the anti-inflammatory properties of hemp oil, a well balanced oil which contains Omega-3, 6, and 9, are effective in reducing inflammatory processes. Through use of steroids and antibiotics good bacteria in the gut is destroyed causing a fungal overgrowth called Candida which is another Crohn's disease related problem. Usually occurring as harmless yeast in the bowel, an overgrowth of Candida can spread in the blood and cause low energy levels in those with compromised immune systems.

Two Kinds Of Natural Crohn's Disease Treatments

Two types of natural remedies, available from health food stores (for both Candida overgrowth and Crohn's disease), are Wormwood and Zell Oxygen. Additional natural treatments for Crohn's disease include a diet of natural high fiber whole foods for remission cases and a low residue, low fat diet in relapsed cases showing symptoms. The intestines are helped in their recovery from inflammatory responses by important proper nutrients which promote self healing in the body. The intestines are better able to absorb and process nutrients, the risk of obstructions, fistulas and ulcers is lowered and cramping, pain or diarrhea is controlled if there is less or no inflammatory response. It is necessary that you do not deviate from a nutritious and well-balanced diet. You should steer clear of processed and high fat foods, caffeine and milk if you are a sufferer of Crohn's disease, as well as other inflammatory bowel diseases and want to stay healthy.
