Crohn's disease usually begins in young people and tends to involve the end of the small intestine (ileum) in inflammatory swelling. The inflammatory activity mostly involves the small bowel wall and often becomes chronic with thickening of the wall and sometimes perforation. The colon and other parts of the digestive tract are sometimes involved. Crohn's disease affects males and females equally and appears to run in some families. About 20 percent of people with Crohn's disease have a blood relative with some form of inflammatory bowel disease. Crohn's disease also involves whole-body problems - arthritis, skin problems, inflammation in the eyes or mouth, kidney stones, gallstones, and other diseases of the liver and biliary system. We think that this is related to the leakiness of the intestine and immune responses to the increased entry of food and microbial antigens. There are four stages to the immune-mediated disease called "Crohn's":

Follow the Alpha Nutrition Program 4 Use Alpha ENF to replace food and to assure optimal nutrition Crohn's disease covers a spectrum of illness from early, relatively mild bowel inflammation to more destructive and even life-threatening disease. We advocate rigorous changes in life-style, diet and the conquest of addiction - no smoking and no compulsive eating. We acknowledge that self-responsible action is difficult and that heroic measures may be required to alter disease-causing conditions. We have seen special problems with Crohn's patients. As the disease progresses, patients have increasing contact with physicians hospitals and tend to become passive and dependent. Often, food choices are poor, eating patterns are irregular, nutrition is compromised. Energy is low and many patients become depressed. Often physicians tell their patients to eat anything they like and institutional advice discourages self-responsible action. Diet revision is discouraged. The dogmatic advice of orthodox institutions is clearly wrong but that does diminish the impact of this negative thinking on the patient. An important task of the Crohn's patient, family, spouse and friends is to become well informed about the diet revision path we are advocating, confirm your right and ability to take self-responsible action and begin the process of constructive change. The inflamed digestive tract is injured and does not work well. You assume that your body is injured and must heal. Looking for a Solution? Take a Food Holiday on Alpha ENF
