Treating Crohn's Disease with Nutritional Changes
Understanding Crohn's Disease
While Crohn's Disease cannot be cured or directly treated through nutrition alone, dietary adjustments can help manage its symptoms. It's important to note that food intake or allergies do not cause Crohn's. However, once the disease manifests, certain foods might exacerbate symptoms and should be avoided to minimize side effects.
Tailoring Your Diet
There isn't a universal diet for those with Crohn’s, but monitoring your dietary habits can be beneficial. Keeping a food diary to record what you eat and how it affects you can help identify problem foods. The impact of certain foods might vary depending on which part of the intestine is affected, and this can change over time.
Diet Claims Under Scrutiny
Diets like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet claim to aid in managing Crohn's, but these are largely supported by personal testimonials rather than scientific evidence. While some aspects, such as reducing gas and bloating by avoiding hard-to-digest foods, may provide relief, they do not reduce inflammation or cure the disease.
Nutritional Considerations
Malnutrition is a significant concern for those with Crohn's due to inadequate food intake, poor nutrient absorption, and the effects of diarrhea and vomiting. It’s crucial to ensure proper nutrient levels through diet or supplements. Dehydration is another serious risk due to excessive diarrhea leading to potential kidney dysfunction or severe weakness.
Nutritional Support Options
For those struggling with nutrient intake, nutritional support via a feeding tube may be necessary to ensure adequate nutrition through the stomach or small bowel.
Emerging Nutritional Therapies
New research is exploring nutritional therapies, such as using fish or flaxseed oils to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. Additionally, probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, show promise in restoring intestinal balance.
By paying close attention to dietary choices and keeping abreast of new therapies, those with Crohn's Disease can find ways to manage their symptoms more effectively.
