Signs of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to several different conditions that affect the digestive tract and cause similar symptoms. The most common types of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Experts theorize that both forms of IBD occur due to an immune system malfunction that causes parts of the large or small intestines to become inflamed.
Signs of inflammatory bowel disease include abdominal pain and cramping, severe diarrhea, bloody stools, fever, and fatigue. People with IBD may experience a loss of appetite that, when combined with an impaired digestive tract, can lead to unintended weight loss. In some cases, rectal bleeding and poor nutrient absorption can lead to anemia. Doctors differentiate a diagnosis of IBD from other diseases by performing a biopsy during a colonoscopy.
IBD Management
There is currently no cure for IBD, but it isn’t typically fatal. Most patients seek treatment because their quality of life suffers while they deal with the symptoms. The goal of treatment is to cause the disease to go into remission, during which symptoms become less severe or may vanish entirely. With proper treatment, patients may go for weeks to years without experiencing a flare-up.
It is very important to be tested for food allergies, and especially allergic sensitivity to dairy, eggs, and gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, kamut, spelt, barley and rye. Many cases of IBD have been found to actually be Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder involving severe reactions to gluten; this is called gluten enteropathy.
To manage IBD naturally, as advocated in the protocols developed by Alternative DrMCare, taking the right supplements paired with healthy lifestyle choices is essential. Getting enough vitamin D3 is important. Vitamin D3 plays a potential role in the reduction of intestinal inflammation. In case your IBD includes episodes of intestinal bleeding, taking enough iron lowers your risk of suffering from anemia.
Resveratrol can also be extremely helpful. Studies suggest that this supplement may help to calm the immune system and reduce inflammation. There is also some evidence that it may prevent colitis and colon cancer.
Alternative DrMCare provides a detailed, comprehensive protocol for restoring normal, healthy bowel function in people with IBD.
