Can you answer Wondering’s question about IBS?:
The selection of foods I can eat is becoming smaller and smaller. It has gotten so bad, that I will sometimes fast a few days to avoid later consequences, or just to give my stomach time to settle down. What is the longest you’ve gone without eating just because you wanted to avoid IBS flair ups? Water only? Each time I’ve visit the Gastrointernest, he just tells me to avoid certain foods and stress. I’m also wondering if I have an allergy to certain foods.

Although, the medical world has not found the confirm cause for the origin of Crohns disease . Some researchers believe that Crohn’s disease is a result of overeating and chemical poisoning, which occurs due to lack of response from our own immunity system.

Common symptoms reflecting infection of regional ileitis are painful diarrhea, bowel movements containing blood, pus and mucus. Crohn’s is differentiated from regional ileitis as it affects any part of the gastrointestinal track and does not involve many constant unhealthy bowel movements.

Medical researches believe that Crohn’s disease can reoccur if necessary precautions and utmost care is not taken. In case, surgery becomes necessary for treating Crohn’s disease, then it is noteworthy that it is a well tolerated and reasonable safe procedure which has an operative mortality rate of 6%.

The medications preferred for treatment can sometimes end up causing other problems.
Medical research says that Crohn’s patients were found with similar eating habits which includes intake of lots of refined sugar, less raw fruits and vegetables, less dietary fiber in diet. Sugary food is tending to contain chemical additives which influence intestinal bacteria to produce toxic substance. This results over a time in destroying the intestinal lining. That is why it is recommended to Crohn’s patients to avoid or consume less sugary food.
