For the past eight years the health professionals at Crohns.net has been successfully helping people with Crohns Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Disease, Diverticulitis, Leaky gut, GERD and other debilitating conditions. We see immense improvements when using the products that have come to form our core line and which form the basis of our Crohn's Disease Supplement Protocol.
The Crohns.net approach addresses the reduction of inflammation and reduction of the influence of pathogenic organisms in the gut while emphasizing the importance of providing an increase in nutritional absorption by supplementing the diet with essential nutrients and modifying personal food selection to promote healing.
The simple steps that comprise our Crohn's Protocol will start
you on the road to recovery.
Each complements the other as they work together to address the
different aspects of your condition.
Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines.
There are two kinds of inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Crohn's Disease usually causes ulcers (open sores) along the length of the small and large intestines. Crohn's Disease either spares the rectum, or causes inflammation or infection with drainage around the rectum.
Ulcerative colitis usually causes ulcers in the lower part of the large intestine, often starting at the rectum.
Crohn's Disease is named after the physician, Dr Crohn, who first described the disease in 1932.
Crohns is also known as Granulomatous enteritis, Regional enteritis, or Terminal ileitis.
Crohn's Disease is found in men and women alike, often affecting young patients in their teens or early twenties.
Once Crohns disease begins, it tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission followed by periods of exacerbation. There is a tendency for familial members to suffer with Crohn's Disease.
Crohn's Disease is not contagious.
The cause of Crohn's Disease is not clearly understood.
Crohn's Disease is also thought to be related to abnormalities in the response of the body's immune system to its bowel contents. The immune system is composed of cells and proteins that protect the body from infections or other foreign invaders. Usually, no immune response will be directed against food, bacteria, and other substances in the intestines.
In Crohn's Disease sufferers, the immune system reacts to a variety of substances and/or bacteria in the intestines, causing inflammation and ulceration.
Crohn's Disease often involves the terminal ileum. which is located adjacent the appendix. This results in right-sided abdominal pain and tenderness mimicking appendicitis. The pain can also be cramp-like in nature, and may indicate obstruction of the bowel.
Diarrhea is also common in Crohn's Disease. This may be due to partial bowel obstruction, excessive growth of bacteria in the small bowel, poor absorption of nutrients and bile acids as well as inflammation of the large intestine. It may contain blood. Rectal bleeding is common while massive bleeding (hemorrhage) is rare. Approximately one third of patients with Crohn's Disease have symptoms involving the anal area.
Intestinal complications of Crohn's Disease include bowel obstruction, bowel perforation, formation of pus collections (abscesses), fistulae, cancer of the bowel and intestinal hemorrhage. Extra-intestinal complications include tender, raised, reddish skin nodules and inflammation of many areas; the joints, spine, eyes, liver and the bile ducts that drain the liver.
As scarring and progresses in Crohn's Disease, it results in narrowing of the bowel. Obstruction may occur acutely by the eating a poorly digestible fruit or vegetables that plugs up the already narrowed segment of the intestine. Symptoms of obstruction include cramping, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea and vomiting.
As the inflammatory ulcer burrows through the bowel wall, it may affect adjacent areas, forming:
A comprehensive
home stool test from Great Smokies Lab will give you more
insight into your digestive function and gut microbial ecology. The
easy to administer test offers a noninvasive way to differentiate
between Crohn's Disease (and Ulcerative Colitis, also known as IBD -
Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It
includes an expanded bacteria, yeast and parasite panel, a reliable
assessment of exocrine pancreatic function, and a noninvasive risk
assessment for colorectal cancer. If bacteria, yeast or parasites are
detected, they are grown out to establish which natural products and
medical drugs will inhibit their growth.
A simple Litmus paper test used daily can assist you assess your body's acid/alkaline balance. Hyperacidity is associated with diarrhea, Candida, gastritis and arthritis.

Natural supplements can make permanent changes to the intestinal environment, allowing the gut lining to heal and reduce the day to day symptoms of Crohns Disease. There are no side effects. The symptoms of Crohns disease diminish slowly when using the Protocol as the intestines become less inflamed and start to heal.It is estimated that one in every 800 US
children has Crohn's Disease - More
