SPEAKER: Some natural tips may bring
relief within your reach
when you have Crohn's disease.
Foods with probiotics
may help stop symptom flare-ups,
but studies on this are mixed.
Probiotics feed your gut
good bacteria to counter
the bad.
Foods with omega 3s
may ease inflammation
in your intestine, which can
also help you avoid flares,
although again the research
on this is mixed.
So what should you avoid?
Keep a food diary to find out,
write down foods and drinks that
seem to give you symptoms
and share the list
with your doctor.
Don't forget to drink plenty
of water.
Crohn's with diarrhea
can leave you dehydrated, which
makes you feel weak and raises
your chances of kidney problems.
Last, keep your stress in check,
since it can make your symptoms
worse.
Try relaxation techniques
like tai chi, yoga,
and meditation.
Practice these tips
and stick to your treatment plan
to feel better.
