Here is an article I wrote up, on what I have learned about Crohn's Disease, and how to mange it by using many different types of diets to get an idea of what your specific body can tollerate, and what it cannot.. Since everybody is different, each person tollerates both food items, and combinations of foods, differently, so I wrote up an article about how to do that effectively, so that you can get an idea for yourself what causes your crohns to get so bad.. I've used this idea for many years now.. I basically use SCD's introductory diet as a base, learning to use the 1 food item a week rule from that, then I learned from Makers how the environment around us affects crohns, then I learned from ecology and other diets how herbs and different types of plants can affect crohns, so this is a little article I put together, and as always I offer support on this journey along the way... It has really helped me, and I just wanted to share in hopes that maybe it would help someone else as well..
How to live a better life with Crohn's Disease
I use food as a base, because one thing we do know about Crohns is that Crohns Disease is a bacterial inbalance that causes the bodies natural defense system (immune system) to become overactive.. Using the bacterial inbalance theiry, we learn that use of antibiotics only makes this worse, in fact even my doctor told me that without having to say anything to him about it, so that much we know.. The idea behind using diets, is to starve the bad bacteria without the use of antibiotics, Each time we eat a food that doesn't agree with us, that item becomes food for harmful bacteria inside the body, which then multiply causing an overgrowth to occur, which the theiry is causes an overactive defense mechanism to occur. This is usually food that we consume that the small intestines cannot absorb, due to small or large intestine inflammation, this is what causes bacteria to multiply, and eventually what the bodies defense system is trying to attack.... So if this helps anyone it was well worth writing.
take care...
