What kind of pain relievers can be taken for Chromes Disease?Hi Linda
Here is some info and remedies to help with your condition.
An amazingly simple remedy would be to give yourself 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon SEA SALT(always start with small doses first!) in one full glass of water. Only ONE DOSE is needed to be cured and the pain and other things should slowly subside over the week with most noticeable pain reduced in the first 30 minutes. The sea salt acts as a hypertonic solution (as opposed to hypotonic solution) to kill the bacteria. Again sea salt must be taken on empty stomach for 1-2 hours. This means that the last time you eat was about 1-2 or more hours or that you will eat in more than 2 hours from now. Hypertonic solutions are effective in killing osmotic sensitive bacteria.

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 is needed ( I do).
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 Do you mean Crohns Disease? Usually Ibuprofen or Acetominophen work just fine...
Precscription Immuran is used most often... u mean crohn's disease? Chrohn's disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive tract. You need a specialist. Simply treating the symptoms is courting worse problems over time.
Free Teleconference on March 6: "Inflammatory Bowel Disease -- Why Should I Take My Medications?"
We are hosting a live teleconference for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals on Thursday March 6. This educational event is presented by Dr. Sunanda Kane, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. There will be a Q&A session with
Dr. Kane after the presentation.
At the link below. If you are diagnosed with Chrone's Disease you will need to ask your physician. There are treatments that can keep it from getting worse and if not treated it will get worse... hi linda, I am a female crohn's survivor like yourself. Aspirin, Aleve, over the counter NSAIDS are to be avoided because they can cause GI bleeds. Tylenol is the only thing that is safe.
As for pain relief for gut spasms, back spasms (we are prone to arthritis and other joint ailments), and overall pain due to flare ups, as your GI or primary care MD for Bentyl or Hyocosamine for the gut spasms, muscle relaxer for the back, and for overall pain, Tylenol 3 w/Codeine, Demerol, Darvocet, or Oxycontin, etc.
If you have severe pain that feels like contractions and a severe burning sensation that feels like a knife cutting through you along w/nausea & vomiting, get to the ER STAT. It is an indication that you have a partial or full obstruction. They will hook you up to an IV, take stat bloodwork, stat xray, and give you something for nausea/vomitting, and pain.
For more accurate information, go to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America's site. They have updated information on the latest meds to get us into remission, women's issues, diet, surgery, and even locating a local support group near you. They also have a live chat & a hotline that is run by medical professionals well versed in IBD.
Feel free to email me if you have questions. I truly understand your concerns for pain management when the CD acts up. I have learned that you have to work together with your primary MD & GI as a team to get things under control. |
