i feel so alone. . Hi Zoey
Here is some info and remedies to help with your condition. THe clear liquid idea is a good idea if you are juicing organic fruits and vegetables. I do this all the time for 7-10 days at a time. I also do a 30 day cleanse with juices only. I also take herbs to clear out the toxics in the blood during this time.
Educating yourself about the points below you will be healthy in no time. Life is all about learning and taking control of destiny.
Causes
Crohn's disease can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, "leaky gut" syndrome, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.
Note:
Pharmaceutical Drugs: The following drugs can all cause and exacerbate various gastrointestinal disorders, including Crohn's disease: Accutane, Alka-Seltzer Antacid and Alka-Seltzer Pain Reliever, Anturane, Genuine Bayer Aspirin, Bayer Plus Aspirin, Bayer Regular Strength Enteric Aspirin, Bufferin Analgesic Tablets and Caplets, Ceptaz, Clinoril, Cuprimine, Ecotrin Enteric Coated Aspirin, Feldene, Ilosone, Lamprene, Leukine for IV Infusion, Lopid, Marplan, Meclomen, Novantrone, Paraplatin, Piroxicam, Prokine I.V. Infusion, Retrovir, Rynatuss, Supprelin Injection, Suprax, Ticlid, Tolectin, Toradol IM Injection, Trecator-SC, Trilisate, and Voltaren.
Quick Action Plan for Crohn's Disease
1. Diet is of primary importance. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.
2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.
3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. Gallon a day if you can.
4. Enema containing butyric acid two to five times a week. (Add one tablespoon of butyric acid to one quart of warm water.) Do a Colon Cleanse to clean out the toxins in the body. A liver cleanse will help new blood penetrate the sick areas and help the healing process.
5. Supplements with vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, taken with a multivitamin/multimineral formula. Essential fatty acids, especial omega-3 oils, are also recommended.
6. Stress reduction through the use of various mind/body medicine techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnotherapy, meditation and relaxation exercises.
7. If you smoke, stop and if you are currently taking aspirin or other NSAIDs, consider replacing them with safer, more effective natural remedies.
8. Soothing baths two to five nights and alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the stomach and upper abdomen.
9. Juice remedies include aloe juice; wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice; and carrot, beet, and cucumber juice.
10. Juice of half a lemon with warm water, especially in the morning.
11. Allow yourself to receive emotional support to help you embrace some of the common underlying issues identified with Crohn's, such as abandonment, anger, disappointment and rage, which often settle in the gut. Seek out a therapist or other skilled practitioner that can guide you through emotional healing work.
12. Learn about colon and liver cleansing to start ridding of the toxins in the blood. This is the key to long term health (for any disease).
Best of health to you It is a scary disease and something you have for the rest of your life so you should find someone to talk to who has experienced what you are going through. There are support groups online see this website: http://www.crohns-disease-and-stress.com... My 11 year old cousin was diagnosed with colitis and she met many other kids with crohns and colitis while she was in the hospital and she found their support better than any of her friends because they knew what she was going through. I have had crohn's for 14 years, It's a horrible, degrading disease.
Fortunately the scientists are coming up with breakthroughs, hopefully in the next few years there will be real treatments for the disease.
I am sorry to hear you have a fistula. They are one of the worst things to happen, they are treatable though, with surgery. Be thankful you have health care, others with this disease are less fortunate. |
