The Crohns.net Crohn's Disease Protocol

For the past eleven 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 witness a great deal of improvement when using the supplements that form the basis of our suggested Crohn's Disease Supplement Protocol.

The Crohns.net approach addresses several factors that all influence digetive functioning:
- reduce inflammation , -reduce pathogenic organisms in the gut -emphasis the importance of providing an increase in nutritional absorption by supplementing the diet with essential nutrients and modifying personal food selection to promote healing.

Take these simple steps that comprise our Crohn's Protocol to 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 Protocol

  1. Begin by using an anti-inflammatory product/s:
  2. Then slowly add in probiotics like: which are superior probiotic formulas. They have anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-fungal properties. Remember to work up to taking loading doses so that you flood your digestive tract with friendly bacteria.
  3. Make dietary changes. Watch what you're eating, making sure that you don’t feed the very critters you are trying to get rid of.
    Read:

  4. Be sure to include Essential Fatty Acids. They are called essential because you absolutely have to have these fatty acids to live and be healthy; your body cannot make them from other substances. EFAs are very useful in helping all inflammatory conditions like Crohn's Disease, IBS and arthritis. They strengthen the immune system and decrease allergy responses.
  5. Also consider using enzymes. When they are taken with your meals, they help digest the food. When taken between meals, they help repair the digestive tract:

  6. It is important to maintain an alkaline pH to provide the optimal environment for friendly bacteria to multiplay and thrive. This is achieved by supplementing with green foods. See Perfect food Capsules and Aloe Greens food powder.

What is Crohn's Disease

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.



Causes of Crohn's Disease

The cause of Crohn's Disease is not clearly understood.

Symptoms of Crohn's Disease

  1. Abdominal Pain

    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.

  2. Diarrhea - A symptom of Crohn's Disease

    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.

  3. Intestinal Complications - Another Symptom of Crohn's Disease

    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.

  4. Bowel Obstruction from Crohn's Disease

    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:

    1. abscesses, which result in symptoms of spiking fevers and tender abdominal masses; or
    2. fistulae, which result in recurrent urinary infections or discharge of pus through small openings in the skin of the abdomen.

Differentiate Crohn's Disease from other similar diseases

A comprehensive home stool test from Genova )aka Great Smokies Lab will give you in depth insight into your digestive function and gut microbial ecology. This 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.

Determine your body's acid / alkaline balance

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.
