What is Crohn's Disease?

Crohn’s Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease of the small intestine. The symptoms are similar to those of Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis. Typically Crohn’s Disease affects a section of the small intestine called the terminal ileum. Inflammation of this section of the small intestine causes a narrowing of the already narrow tube and it is painful when digested food moves through this area, three or four times a day depending on how often the person eats and snacks.

Because our micronutrients are absorbed in the small intestine one of the other major symptoms of Crohn’s Disease is weight loss or the inability to keep a normal weight or to gain weight back to normal weight. This weight loss occurs because the body is not absorbing its nutrients (especially fat) effectively due to the severe degree of inflammation in the small intestine.

The symptoms of Crohn's are...

• fatigue

• weight loss

• abdominal pain

• chronic diarrhea

• frequent or loose bowel movements

• loss of appetite

• intestinal dysbiosis

• mal-absorption of nutrients

• sinus congestion

• lung congestion

• skin disorders

• headache

• joint pain

• mood swings

• anxiety

• depression

• anemia

• weak bones (osteopenia, osteoporosis)

What Causes Crohn's Disease?

• too much stress

• dehydration

• poor diet

• processed foods

• gluten

• micro-nutrient deficiencies

• acid forming foods

• an overgrowth of bad bacteria and other pathological organisms (dysbiosis)

• eating on the run or too fast

• eating too fast

• too cold or hot beverages

As with all digestive disorders the solution for Crohn's disease include making changes in the primary causes...

• Willingness to activate the information and recommendations

• Manage your emotions and stress

• Get properly hydrated

• Address micro and macro-nutrient deficiencies

• Eating clean

• Correct Intestinal dysbiosis

• Oxidative Stress

• Restore your “redox potential.”

Crohn's disease is preventable. The solutions are within your control by changing your diet and lifestyle. But no progress will be made until the condition of Intestinal Dysbiosis is effectively addressed and resolved.
