Crohn's Disease covers a spectrum of illness from early, relatively mild bowel
inflammation to more destructive and even life-threatening disease. We are advocating
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.
The inflamed digestive tract is injured and does not work well. You have to assume that
your body is damaged and must heal. Watch beautiful silver biker ring right here.

You need to rest and recover.
- You need to be flexible and adjust your food supply to match the limited ability of your
digestive tract to handle foods.
- You will do best on a controlled diet of
safe foods for years to come
The Alpha Nutrition Program
The Alpha Nutrition diet revision program is designed to discover a new diet that
reduces immediate symptoms and reduces the long-term risk of the disease progressing. The
first Phase of Alpha Nutrition is an attempt to clear symptoms. This is home science. You
start with the hypothesis that your food intake is causing or contributing to your illness
and you do an experiment to find out if it is true.
You want to accomplish
three important goals:
Remove all the problems in your existing food supply
Add all the nutrients your body needs
Reintroduce the best, nourishing, low-risk
foods
Alpha ENF can supply nutrients before, during
and after recovery.
You will require increased nutrient intake to heal properly. Often recovery
involves a period of reduced food intake or fasting. Alpha ENF can be used as a completely
absorbed, fully nourishing food-replacement. Alpha ENF can be used to supply nutrients
that may be in short supply - such as amino acids, B vitamins, vitamins D and B12 and
minerals such a calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc. Poor nutrition and food allergy may
be hidden causes of slow recovery and prolonged disability. The delayed food allergy
mechanisms promote a whole range of discomforts along with food cravings. trustkantoor
We think that some proteins are high-risk food components in Crohn's disease and we are
concerned about the adverse effects of hydrolyzed proteins. The highest risk proteins
appear to be albumin from eggs and milk, globulin and casein from milk, muscle proteins
from meat, gluten the proteins in wheat, rye, barley and oats and sometimes soya proteins.
Proteins from vegetable sources appear to be better tolerated. Meal replacement formulas
made with milk, egg or soya proteins should be avoided.
Alpha ENF avoids all the protein problems by supplying the nutrient requirement with
pure amino acids. The amino acid content of Alpha ENF will supplement or replace dietary
protein. Alpha ENF can be added to fruit and vegetable juices to make complete meals of
simple beverages and can be added to soups, or puddings after they have been cooked to increase their nutritive value.
The most definitive rest and recovery technique is to take a food holiday. While fasting (removing the food
problems) has helped many people improve, the penalties of no nutrients coming in are
often too great for people who are seriously ill. We therefore recommend Alpha ENF use to
insure that a complete nutrient set is available.
When you read Alpha Nutrition instructions,
you will realize that there are three tracks through the program - fast,
medium and slow. You need to decide the best track for you. With chronic inflammatory disease, especially if you have had bowel resection and
fistula formation, the task of healing the wounds can seem daunting. There is hope of
healing the inflamed bowel and the fistula with a prolonged food holiday on Alpha ENF-
this obviously is not an easy undertaking and requires the patience of a saint... fistula
healing may take several months.
You become an infant for a while. You will need tender loving care and baby food.
After improvement on a food holiday, you will do best with slow gradual food
reintroduction - pausing frequently if any symptoms flare. You may find that a well cooked
foods from the phase 1 list plus 4 servings of Alpha ENF per day is
the most stable diet regime to follow for many weeks and may be the "safety
zone" for years to come. .
Looking for a Solution? Do the Alpha Nutrition
Program
You can order An Alpha Nutrition Manual with the Book of
Food and Digestive Disorders as a nutritional starter pack. The
book
describes the features of Crohn's disease and explains how the inflamed digestive tract is
injured and does not work well. You have to assume that your body is damaged and must
heal. Often a food holiday on Alpha ENF is the best way to begin recovery and the Alpha
Nutrition Program is an ideal way to design a safer, healthier long-term diet.
