Real Help For Crohn's And Ulcerative Colitis

If you have ever struggled with any type of stomach issue, you know it's NOT fun! A simple stomach ache can put you down for a day or more. Imagine struggling with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis.

So many people are now struggling with this, and the danger is that if it isn't dealt with properly, the results can be disastrous and pose a real threat to your overall health. Here are 5 very important things I recommend if you have been struggling with Crohn's and/or Ulcerative Colitis.

1. Take a Good Probiotic Supplement and Fish Oil Daily.

This is critical when dealing with Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. You must flood your body with good bacteria. A good probiotic supplement like "Primal Defense" by Garden of Life is my preferred choice. Additionally, I also recommend a few other supplements, including Fish Oil. Be sure it has been tested for mercury. I like a brand called "Barleans Omega 3," which you can purchase at any "Vitamin Shoppe" very inexpensively. It doesn't repeat on you and has a nice orange flavor. I buy the capsules and personally take 6 per day. They are only 500 mg, and I like to take 3,000 mg per day. You can take 2 with each meal. I also recommend something called "FYI" by Garden of Life. It stands for "For Your Inflammation." It WORKS!

2. Stop Eating ALL junk foods ~ today.

The goal here is to stop the inflammation of the intestines. That's only going to be done by putting the right stuff in and getting the junk out. Processed foods inflame and irritate the intestines. Sometimes people "think" they are eating well, but if you suffer with either of these two conditions, you need to avoid eating things like pizza, rice, cereal, pasta, white potatoes, bagels, cookies, crackers, (basically dead foods!) And forget pasta sauce! Too acidic ~ just for now until you heal.

3. Eat healthy foods that are non-irritating to the digestive tract.

A smoothie for breakfast would be ideal (containing strawberries and banana, or pineapple and banana, coconut milk, coconut water, and protein powder). This will be high in nutrition and non irritating to the digestive tract. The good fat from the coconut milk with help if you want to keep weight on.

Lunch can consist of canned or wild-caught fish such as salmon, or grilled chicken, over lightly cooked green veggies with olive oil such as spinach, kale, or any other green vegetable you enjoy. You can also do salads as well (with extra virgin olive oil and some lemon juice).

Supper can be similar to lunch. Remember, it's only limiting for a while until you are feeling better. It can take 6 months to a year to recover fully, but it's so worth it! You will adapt a healthy lifestyle to boot!

4. Stay Away from ALL Alcohol and Coffee Right Now.

This is critical, as both alcohol and coffee are super acidic to the body and contribute to inflammation. Enough said on that one!

5. Chew Your Food Very Well.

This is critical to your success because again, the inflammation must come down. You want to put as little strain on your liver as possible, and you want to put the best foods in your system that will nourish you, and not rob you of health. Chewing your food well will create enzymes in your saliva to help you break down your food so much easier. Then the liver won't have to work as hard to break the food down, and it will go into the intestines much easier.

You CAN Be Healed Naturally of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.

Someone very close to me had ulcerative colitis a few years ago and was very sick. He couldn't keep anything down, and had loose stools for over a year! We cleaned up his nutrition COMPLETELY and started him on certain supplements, and certain dosages of those supplements. Within 6 months, he was over 70% healed, and he is 100% healed today! He looks and feels better than ever. He took his condition VERY seriously, and did what he needed to do ~ not with medication that has side effects, but with natural foods and supplements. YOU can do the same.
