What Is Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis?
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are two forms of inflammatory bowel disease or IBD. These chronic illnesses cause digestive tract inflammation, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and anemia. Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the digestive tract. Although, ulcerative colitis only affects parts of the large intestine and rectum.
How Can Functional Medicine Help?
At Hoyt Integrative Health, functional medicine is an effective approach to helping reduce inflammation associated with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. By looking at the root causes of your IBD, we can develop a customized plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. This approach incorporates specialized gastrointestinal testing which directs us in our use of natural therapies to address any potential dysbiosis or overgrowth, stress or anxiety, diet and nutrition counseling, herbal formulas, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments that help reduce inflammation and restore balance in the body.
What Other Methods Are Available?
Functional medicine, is an alternative to traditional methods for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These include medications like steroids, immunosuppressants, biologics, and anti-inflammatories. At times there will need to be a combination of both until things stabilize. Many patients have been told they will be on their prescriptions for life but we have not found that to be the case. We work with our patients to determine the best action based on their needs and circumstances.
We tailor our plans to improve symptoms, reduce the need for harmful medications, and restore balance in the body. We also offer ongoing support to ensure our patients stay on track and make the necessary lifestyle changes for long-term relief.
