Crohn’s disease results in inflammation of the alimentary canal and can lead to the formation of fistulas, ulcers and obstructions in the large or small intestines. The cause and cure for this condition have not yet been found, but it is thought that it may be an auto-immune condition or occur as a result of lower than normal gastric acid secretions. Arthritis and inflammation in the eyes can also result as complications are not restricted to the intestines.Sometimes patients can be in remission with no indication that they have this condition and at other times they can relapse and suffer a flare up of symptoms. These triggers can vary between individuals but if you understand your flare up triggers then you can avoid them. Many Crohn’s disease sufferers use natural remedies to circumvent taking medications or because medications are unaffordable. The chance of relapses may be reduced and the natural healing processes of the body are helped by natural remedies.
The importance of taking a good diet in conjunction with natural remedies is required for success. Many sufferers get relief from this disease by avoiding yeast, wheat and milk. The risk of developing Crohn’s disease is lessened and the chances of attaining remission are improved by having a proper intake of Omega-6 fatty acids (sesame seed, corn oil) and Omega-3 fatty acids (Flaxseed oil, fatty fish such as trout and salmon).
The inflammatory processes can effectively be reduced by taking hemp oil daily (one teaspoon initially and gradually increasing to one tablespoon). Candida is another Crohn’s disease related problem - a fungal overgrowth caused by destruction of the good bacteria in the digestive tract through use of steroids and antibiotics. Those with compromised immune systems can suffer with low energy levels due to candida, usually a harmless yeast that occurs in the bowel, having spread into the bloodstream.
Suitable for both Candida overgrowth and Crohn’s disease, Wormwood and Zell Oxygen are two types of natural remedies available from health food stores. If an individual is in remission, a diet, high in natural fiber should be taken and for those experiencing symptoms, a low residue, low fat diet is recommended. Proper nutrients promote self healing in the body and are important in helping the intestines recover from inflammatory responses. Intestines with less or no inflammatory responses are better able to absorb and process nutrients, the risk of obstructions, fistulas and ulcers is lowered and cramping, pain or diarrhea is controlled. A nutritious and well-balanced diet is extremely important to stick to. Crohn’s disease, as well as other inflammatory bowel disease, sufferers should steer clear of processed and high fat foods, caffeine and milk if they want to stay healthy.
