Ensuring Adequate Nutrition From Your Crohns Diet

January 30th, 2010 by admin

Following a specific crohns diet is one of the best self healing remedies you can implement in your lifestyle. The reason is because without proper nutrition a crohn’s sufferer puts themselves at greater risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition is a problem for many people with crohn’s, as it is estimated that as many as 80 percent of people with the disease experience considerable weight loss.

There are many factors that may cause malnutrition in a crohn’s sufferer. Malnutrition may occur from -

- Excessive diarrhea
- Difficulty eating due to gastrointestinal discomfort, pain, nausea and diarrhea
- Badly damaged bowel
- Bowel shortened by surgery can prevent the absorption and digestion of sufficient nutrients.
- Certain medications may reduce the body’s stores of some vitamins and nutrients.

Thus, it is imperative that adequate nutrition is absorbed through the right crohns diet to prevent malabsorption.

What is malabsorption? Malabsorption is when the body does not effectively absorb nutrients (vitamins, minerals, proteins, fat, sugar, etc.) from ingested food. In order for the body to absorb the nutrients from food, the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, and the lining of the small intestine need to be functioning properly. It is through the small intestine that nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream. That is why in most cases, the impairment of food digestion primarily occurs in the small intestine.

The symptoms of malabsorption include: diarrhea, weight loss, dehydration, fatigue, bloating, abdominal pain, skin changes, oily stool and undigested food in stool.

Malabsorption can result in malnutrition, if the body does not receive the sufficient amount of nutrients it requires. Malnutrition is a serious condition that can lead to total parenteral nutrition (nutrition provided intravenously) if not taken care of by a crohns diet.

To ensure their diet contains adequate nutrients, a crohn’s suffer needs to make certain that their diet consist of -

- Lots of hydrating fluids (approximately 10 glasses per day), especially water. Certain herbal teas (I.E. mint, ginger, etc.) may also be added. These fluids help to prevent constipation.

- Eat fiber – When you are not suffering symptoms, make sure your crohns diet is rich in insoluble fiber such as bran, apple, raw vegetables, brown rice, wholegrain bread, etc. However, if you are experiencing crohn’s symptoms or you are prone to diarrhea, focus your diet more on soluble fiber such as the flesh of fruit, oatmeal, soda crackers, cooked vegetables, etc.

- Avoid dairy if you are lactose intolerant. If you suffer from lactose intolerance, your body can not properly absorb milk sugar which can lead to symptoms such as gas, bloating and diarrhea.

- Eat a crohns diet rich in protein – Fish, eggs, beans, nuts, lean meats, etc.

- Lower your intake of caffeine, alcohol, fats and sugars (especially sorbitol – a type of sweetener) as these foods are known to trigger diarrhea.

Essentially, the key to avoiding malnutrition is to eliminate foods in your diet that trigger or worsen symptoms (particularly severe diarrhea), and introduce other “safe” foods that contain the nutrients your body needs that it cannot obtain from the foods that have been eliminated from your crohn’s diet.

Mix It Up on Nutrition How good carbs & fats help shed pounds

January 28th, 2010 by admin

According to the New York Times, “the more we learn about nutrition, the less we seem to know.” Contradicting nutritional studies simply confuse American shoppers and set back all dietary efforts. It’s time to ignore the high-calorie, low-carb crazes and discover easier ways to eat well and stay healthy.

“I think we need to be looking for the good things that are in our food, rather than the bad,” says Jill Melton, M.S., R.D., and Editor of Relish Magazine. “We need to be looking at the vitamins and the minerals, the anti-oxidants and the fiber that our food delivers. There’s no magic pill.”

As part of National Nutrition Month, Melton offers some great tips on choosing the right carbs and fats, as well as creative ways to stave off the afternoon munchies.

Can something be called ‘herbal’ when it includes animal….?

January 27th, 2010 by admin

…. glands in the ingredients along with the herbs? I have nutrition suplementals that include animal glands in them. Yikes!

Yes it can be called herbal. Saying something is herbal only means that it contains or untilizes herbs, there’s no limit as to what else can be added. You have to read carefully with supplements. Many of them contain some type of animal byproducts, but nearly all of them have a vegetarian/vegan counter part. Do a little research, or go to a nutrition store and they can help you find ones that are free of any animal byproducts.

Hope this Helps!!

Can Herbal Medicine Compliment Traditional Medicine?

January 23rd, 2010 by admin

When it comes to medical treatment, there is a growing trend among many individuals which is giving rise to their commitment to take some of their personal health care needs into their own hands. This has created a huge demand for information on alternative and herbal herbal remedies.

What are Natural Herbs?

In essence, natural herbs have been around for ages, they have been a great source of nutrition and flavor in the human diet, and they have also been the main source of medicine and healing throughout human history, and the fact that they are still used widely today is not a throwback to the olden times but rather is an indication that natural herbs are a growing part of even today’s high technology world.

Many people with chronic diseases turn to natural remedies for cure, relief and a better life. Medicinal herbs fall into a category known as complementary or alternative medicine. For centuries, herbs have come to our rescue helping us cure serious illnesses and give us relief from pain and suffering.

Since herbs have been proven to enhance one’ s health and wellbeing, it might be good to make them a part of your daily life. The reason why more people use nature herbs instead of the traditional drugs is the fact that they have no side effects like those associated with prescription medicine.

The use of herbs as alternative medicine is complementary. Most people who have experienced the benefits of herbal medicine use these products in addition to the available mainstream medical treatments. Recently the Food and Drug Administration issued information on the use of green tea for medicinal use and the potential benefits of drinking green tea to reduce the risk of cancer. The report was based on scientific research and the report issued included the information from these studies. Other information on the use of herbs as medicine comes from private study groups who employ traditional, scientific research to provide information to the public.

Herbal teas are another herb which have been part of the ancient and modern culture all around the world. For people who wish to detoxify body pollutants, herb tea can give instant cleansing to your body.

Even though natural herbs have no side effects, don’ t exceed the recommended dosage and use only as directed by your doctor. When a drug is mixed with herbs, both can alter each other’ s ability to metabolize and take effect.
