Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Natural Treatment and Medication

Digestive issues, stomach pain, and overall fatigue are warning signals that a patient suffers from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While common treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, immunity suppressors, and antibiotics, these medications come with uncomfortable—even dangerous—side effects. With that in mind, many patients are turning to natural remedies to improve their health.

What causes IBD?

IBD is chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Most experts believe it’s caused by an immune system problem, where the immune system sees the digestive system as a threat, much like an invading virus or bacteria, and, therefore, it attacks. Consequently, those suffering from IBD experience among others – diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.

How do medications help?

Of course, medications work in different ways. Immunosuppressants weaken the body’s defense system to stop fighting the digestive tract. In turn, this has dangerous consequences as the body can no longer fight off infections. An additional risk is that immunosuppressants are known to cause cancer – a major factor in IBD sufferers turning to natural remedies.

In other cases, medical professionals prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, and pain relievers, each with their side-effects.

How are alternative treatments better?

As the body is naturally equipped with a system to maintain its health, using dangerous medications can interrupt and hinder the body’s natural processes. The key to unlocking a self-regulating system is finding the appropriate balance between nutraceuticals, botanicals, Homeopathic remedies, and other natural modalities. Natural treatment includes diet change and including supplements such as fish oil, which may suppress intestinal inflammation.
