Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, affects millions worldwide, presenting symptoms that can disrupt daily life. While conventional medical treatments like medication and surgery play a crucial role in managing the disease.
Understanding Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is part of a group of conditions known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
Diet and Nutrition
One of the most impactful ways to manage Crohn’s disease naturally is through dietary adjustments.
- Anti-inflammatory foods: Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can be beneficial.
- Probiotics: These beneficial bacteria, found in yogurt and fermented foods, can help maintain the balance of gut bacteria and improve gut health.
