Homeopathy treatment for IBD

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe disorders that involve chronic inflammation of digestive tract.

TYPES OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASEUploaded Image

Ulcerative colitis - This condition causes long-lasting inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the innermost lining of large intestine (colon) and rectum.

Crohn's disease - This type of IBD is characterized by inflammation of the lining of digestive tract, which often spreads deep into affected tissues.

Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease usually involve severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss.

IBD can be debilitating and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications

SYMPTOMS OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Inflammatory bowel disease symptoms vary, depending on the severity of inflammation and where it occurs. Symptoms may range from mild to severe.

Signs and symptoms that are common to both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis include:

  • Diarrhea
  • Fever and fatigue
  • Abdominal pain and cramping
  • Blood in stool
  • Reduced appetite
  • Unintended weight loss

CAUSES OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

The exact cause of inflammatory bowel disease remains unknown. Previously, diet and stress were suspected, but now doctors know that these factors may aggravate but donot cause IBD.

One possible cause is an immune system malfunction. When our immune system tries to fight off an invading virus or bacterium, an abnormal immune response causes the immune system to attack the cells in the digestive tract, too.

Heredity also seems to play a role in that IBD is more common in people who have family members with the disease. However, most people with IBD do not have this family history.
