Natural Remedies to Treat Crohn's and Colitis

If you suffer from Crohn's or colitis, a major trigger for disease flares is toxins and irritants that surround you. Identify the food ingredients that trigger bowel inflammation and avoid these as much as possible. If you're having a particularly bad case, try to rest your bowel by adopting a temporary elemental liquid diet. This kind of diet calls for 3-6 weeks of only eating liquids in a pre-digested form. The regimen consists of shakes, broths, and Jell-O as well as special supplements. Using an elemental liquid diet is especially helpful if you're currently experiencing any gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction. It's also good if you are very malnourished because of your disease.
