Crohn's Disease pt 1 of 2

[andersenholm]

Good vid. But note that the "Layer-drawing" on 2.22 is highly proportional obscure. Muscular layer are far thicker.

[verticalsmurf]

I was diagnosed with Chrons a couple of years ago, most of my pain is in my upper left area. sometimes I pass alot of bright red blood which my specialist isn't concerned about, he says I only need to worry if it is dark red and clumpy. I am always tired, I have no appetite. He prescribed vitamin B & D, calcium and fish oil, but I always feel worse after I take them so I stopped. I need to do something cause I need to work. Advice please?

[informationwarfare]

@mguruj This video wont help you at all. You need to start drinking fresh juice that you juice yourself and look up herbs that cleanse the bowels and intestines. Abstain from all dairy, grains, cereals, meat. Drink plenty of pure water, and no pure water does not come out of the tap you need to buy water that is 100% free of all chemicals (including fluoride, first used in Nazi concentration camps to quell dissenters.) Research "natural crohns disease cure" and get as many sources as you can.

[informationwarfare]

An alternative to buying pure water is to get a water filter for your taps and/or whole house

[Dolphindream15]

@magyarR34 I have chronze disease too the dr thinks my chronze started when I was a child and when I became an adult it took hold of me,,when I was 18 years old my chronze got so bad  that I was in the hospital for a month and my high school diploma was brought to me in my hospital room.,I only weighed 86 pounds at the time Im lucky to be alive I always had direahreah accidents at school,I had to have surgery in 1990,my rectum was removed my large instine was removed,and part of small

[socceric17]

@magyarR34 Ever tried using herbs? SOOOOO much more effective than pharmaceutical drugs. I take Cat's Claw, it can suppress ANY flare up I get no problem. Such a great herb. Turmeric, slippery elm, marijuana, are also all really good. I used to take Humira but since starting Cat's Claw, been drug free for over a year :D Also check out Wanted: Crohn's End, going to be a great documentary about Crohn's! All about alternative medicine.

[karinachabela]

Major problem found at 3:56. Wheat wreaks havoc on the mucosal lining of the intestines and contains gluten, and is high in phytic acid. Phytates have been clinically shown to inhibit the absorption of dietary minerals like calcium, copper, magnesium, iron, and zinc. So Crohn's disease patients who are eating wheat are doing themselves a major disservice.

I won't even bother getting into dairy, that's a whole new can of worms.

[rocko7usa]

I was diagnosed w/crohns when I was 11. I'm 44yr old now. In between theses yrs I have had 7 surgeries for this disease. 3 for bowl resections(they took bout 1 foot each time)and the remainding for scare tissue from the past operations. Was on 'many' different types of meds for this. Currently I take Humira, ever other week I give myself a shot of this.It helps but still have problems. Lastly-I have done my best to live a good life-and I have. peace out.

[VonLeachim]

fast with supervision for a short time then completely stay off eating the grains, gluten, milk, dont drink any water within half hour of eating before or after.

plenty green vegtables juiced every day [organic if poss], raw foods and taking time to 'listen to what cause sflare ups within ones body..

YMMV -helped me though. and they wanted all my bowel out !

[MrSuperfood1]

All disease and disorder have cures, but your doctor in American may not be able to share it with you. The AMA and FDA are primarily funded by big business. Americans spend $300 Billion on Pharmaceutical "solutions" that is very much like pulling the Fuse to shut down your "Check Engine" light instead of checking and fixing what is under the hood. Email me (xowiiventura@gmail.com) to learn more about how I CAN absolutely help you with Crohn's. I am very straightforward about this!

[WALKUREX]

@MrSuperfood1 fuck you, you lying peice of shit. There is no cure for Cronh's, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS SCAMMER

[MrSuperfood1]

@WALKUREX

Wow! Very nice language. Go ahead and eat processed foods, take pills with all-kinds of side-effects, and continue with your piss-and-vinegar attitude. That will provide you with a treatment and cure. Now, the body can absolutely heal itself. The body can not only naturally fight off cancer, but it can clear it or cure it when it is in balance. Now, why so angry? What knowledge do you have to share outside of your colorful use of language. Look up "Gerson Therapy." Good Luck!

[karinachabela]

@WALKUREX

You think telling people that there is real help is a SCAM? Woooow.

If you have Crohn's, and there's someone who doesn't make a dollar to tell you how to help it, don't you think it would be prudent to at least listen?

[WALKUREX]

@MrSuperfood1 Yes all doctors and researchers are hiding the magic cure for cancer and Crohn's while some bimbo like you discovered it on your own. This is why our society is messed up, not because of greedy pharmaceutical companies, it's because of rapacious scammers like you; and if you really believe in your magic medicine then I take back the previous comment and instead would like to slap some sense into you with your mother's penis.

[MrSuperfood1]

@WALKUREX Very emotional and usually a comment like yours at the end shows your ability to study, research and reason. If you know how to use the internet, go to "Hulu" and for free watch "The Gerson Miracle." It's a very informational documentary. Good luck my friend! You help nobody with venom and piss. Watch that documentary.

[chrissaboy]

Did you know that 90% of Crohn's patients have problems digesting milk and gluten? So why the fuck does it have a larger part of the food pyramid with bread? Sorry, but this video is no help whatsoever and only explains the basics of the condition. The fact that this video is suggest someone with a digestive condition to eat cereal really proves to me that the maker of the video lacks basic understanding of the condition! Sorry...but the truth hurts!

[karinachabela]

@chrissaboy

Spot on! Thank you! 

[karinachabela]

@chrissaboy I would like this post a million times over if I could

[huttonk2]

@chrissaboy Um what??? Link? Show me one study that even closely suggests that. Unless you are mistaking this for Celiac's Disease, you are an idiot.

[chrissaboy]

@huttonk2 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 12 years ago...I think I know better than you what affects the condition and what doesn't! Since I have 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and a dozen years of experience of trying this and that and modifying my lifestyle. So my opinion counts....plus there are studies but how the fuck do I post it on this channel...you fool!

[chrissaboy]

@huttonk2 BTW, I don't understand why you specifically opened a youtube channel this year and just decided to leave a reply to my comment? With such minute activity on your channel I wouldn't be surprised if you were the maker of this particular video.

Also, haven't you ever heard of food intolerance, sensitivities or allergies? Crohn's disease is a mixture of lifestyle and genetics playing a part. But I do suggest that people who have never had it stop pushing their own ideas of what helps!

[huttonk2]

@chrissaboy state your source instead of spreading mis-information based on voodoo science. I challenge you to find one scientific journal with the information you claim as fact. I was watching this video because I have been living with the disease and just recently diagnosed. I am not pushing ideas, but telling you to stop spreading mis-information. What scientific institution is claiming that 90% of Crohn's patients have problems digesting milk and gluten?

[chrissaboy]

@huttonk2 I can't put sources into comment boxes....this is a feature that Youtube simply don't allow. Why don't you just google it? There are about a million different sites that show the connection.

[huttonk2]

@chrissaboy According to American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: "A positive correlation has been found between the incidence of the disease and an increased intake of animal protein, milk protein and an increased ratio of n-6 to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids." This is an example of citing your source. YouTube let me put the source in the box. This does not mean that 90% of Crohn's patients have problems digesting milk and gluten.

[chrissaboy]

@huttonk2 I didn't give you a source, just pointed that google searches show connection between Gluten/Wheat and Crohn's disease. You see the problem I have when I read and see these types of comments is that if I followed this food pyramid I would still be ill....how do you explain that? I have Crohn's disease but am clear of symptoms, how do you explain the symptoms coming back with bad diets? And Gluten/Wheat was the last thing I deleted and it worked! Not really an idiot, am I!

[huttonk2]

@chrissaboy The reason that I commented back in the first place is because your statistic is wrong. I understand that there is a connection, that does not mean that 90% of Crohn's patients have problems digesting gluten and milk, and I would love to hear where exactly you got that figure.

[huttonk2]

@chrissaboy Believe me, I understand that perhaps you sticking to a gluten- and dairy-free diet has worked for you. But it is one thing to suggest something, and another thing to cuss out an informative YouTube video and pull statistics out of your as s.

[informationwarfare]

@chrissaboy That is true! Wikipedia also suggests milk and meat consumption along with grains and cereals to treat crohns disease.

[Dolphindream15]

@chrissaboy I have been searching for help on what to eat because of my chronze disease my dietician is no help,,in 1990 I had to have my rectum removed my large instine removed and part of my small instine removed I now live with an illisostomy BUT,,,,in 2009 I was told I had dibitis A dibitec diet is IN COMPLETE REVERSE FROM WHAT MY OSTOMY DIET IS SOSPOSED TO BE,,my chronze was discovered in 1982,,so what diet do I follow ,,does it matter

[celtpro]

@chrissaboy You are entitled to have an opinion, though the use of language is not called for. The video is for informational purposes only, maybe the person that put the video together does have little understanding of Crohn's Disease.

It is better to use common sense, and further research to understand an illness properly. Go to your family doctor or GP and let them explain if you need a referral to a specialist.

[socceric17]

I would recommend using Cat's Claw. It's a herb that reduces inflammation, relaxes muscles, improves immune system, fights free radicals, and lowers blood pressure. I got off all my medication for Crohn's by just taking this one simple herb at 4000mg/day. If you are unhappy with Crohn's please please please research this miracle herb. It has completely changed my life. You can probably find it at a local health store but if not, you can find it online at numerous sites.

[helgih580]

@socceric17 This describes just about every vitamin in the body. Beware of false hopes and magical herbs. Buy at your own risk.

[socceric17]

@helgih580 ??? Please tell me which vitamin has anti-inflammatory properties, neutralizes pathogens, relaxes muscles, cures allergies, cures arthritis, helps with cancer, improves brain function, fights off free radicals, lowers blood pressure, and everything else. This is not false hope and magic. Everything I say is backed up by umm.edu, webmd.com, ncaam.nih.gov, cancer.org, wiki.org, and many more sites. And there is virtually 0 risk except for losing a couple bucks because it's 100% natural

[FormulaDGoSpeedGo]

I was just told today that one of my good friends has it. Please tell me its not fatal. I know I should just watch the video,but I am not so good at watching things inwhich people are in pain. He's only 20! :(

[CodexAlimentarius1]

Zeolite and cilantro help alot. Crohns is tied together with mercury poisoning and autism.

[cobystallion1690]

i have crohns but i can eat anything and get no pain or anything a eat currys ceareal fruit lots of fizzy juice and milk a get no pain a even drink alcahol n everything but a dnt tell ma doctor that i dont live with crohns, crohns lives with me that wat dnt kill u can only make you stronger

[helgih580]

@cobystallion1690 My mom has crohn's but it's manageable. I don't think that cutting out a large portion of your intestine will make you stronger. This disease will continually make you weaker and weaker until you die unless you're lucky, which seems to be your case.

[Theprettygentleman]

Heres a bit more information on Crohns Disease that I found.

theoriesforcrohndisease(.)blog­spot(.)com

Hope it helps.

[MalevILLent]

my mother suffered from ulcerative colitis for 20 years and weighed only 89 pounds at her sickest point, but in 08' she had 2 surgeries and had her entire colon removed and now weighs 120 pounds.

[kll510]

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about 6 months ago. It sucks and I was in a lot of pain. But now I'm on medication and doing a lot better.

[marquetteboy]

people go out and buy ensure, this helps alot.

[ilovemybabies1000]

i have crohns didease its not a good didease to have

[j7sh1]

I have it too I got it when I was 18

[essent100]

My brother suffered with Crohns from the age of 16, he passed away last week from squamous cell carcinoma aged 49, he would get a bad flare up of crohns every couple of years around 12 years ago he developed fistluas these were sucessfully treated by surgery, 5 years later he again developed fistulas which were treated with surgery, the fistulas returned again in september 2008, this time surgery did not heal the fistulas he had a MRI scan were it was found that the fistulas had become cancerous

[soboboo]

Sorry to hear about your brother. Do you have any other brothers or sisters?

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

Sorry for our loss. Girl I worked with had this and spent all christmas one year crying in pain. Pain management did not work well for her.

[muzza798]

would eating fruit and fibre help atall?

[jpaulson72891]

thats what your suppose to stay away from.

[willykid83]

THanks for sharing this video.

[jamie2462]

are you on facebook? Theres a good group on there for Crohn's patients...or tons of info sites on the web that I have been joining the discussion groups. Get on there and get informed. :) Drop me a line anytime.

[sandralawson18]

@jamie2462 I don't know too much about any crohn's

disease, but I'm at the point where I can no longer eat,

breakfast, cereals, some meats without getting digestive problems.

[jamie2462]

(cont) but make sure you have lots of OJ, eggs, things high in protein so you don't get too tired to want to eat which was where I was at...try to at least eat a little something at every meal (not just a piece of white bread tho because there's no nutrients in that. Add peanut butter, fish, stirfrys (with the veggies well softened...not just a dump it in and go stirfry but cook it more - like steamed almost) stuff thats not too heavy when yer not hungry but will give you nutrients.

[jamie2462]

(cont) with crohn's we have a hard time absorbing nutrients and once you start on some meds you will be needing the extra nutrients, or even if you arent very hungry then maybe a one a day supplement? I know it wouldnt get you everything but it'd be a start. When I lost all that weight the hospital put me on a low fiber (because of the flare up) and high energy diet (Butter or extra gravy on everything) - not that I suggest that as i quickly packed the weight on...

[jamie2462]

Hi angel,

I think it does have dairy as it is a calcium drink. Maybe the mixing the carnation with the low lactaid milk would be better, I was just throwing out what I know had worked for me. I was drinking low lactaid milk and taking a boost a day, but if you are really someone badly affected then going with the carnation route would likely be best. I am female. Another thing are you taking any supplements yet? I was recommended to start taking calcium and vitamin d supplements. (As ...cont)

[jamie2462]

Hi Angel,

I drink a boost everyday as that was what I got used to in the hospital. There is also an Equate brand of the same thing that isn't too bad, not as sweet as the boost. You should really try something like that just to be keeping to get your nutrients (or some of them) I would hate for you to be as badly malnourished as I was when they admitted me. Try the boost - It goes on sale at walmart sometimes- i would suggest getting the high protein ones and at least seeing how you feel. XOX

[rwhiteangel]

Is the boost pretty easy on the belly?? no dairy? I will give it a try for sure. I am kinda scared. I have not weighed 111 lbs since I was a teeenager. I sould wiegh at least 125. Thanks so much. Do you have any other suggetions? do you mind me asking if you are male or female?

[informationwarfare]

@rwhiteangel Boost? Boost Juice? Don't drink that crap they use reconstituted fruit juice, you need to juice vegetables and fruit yourself to gain any benefit.

[jamie2462]

Is there no grants that you can apply for? Where do you live rwhiteangel? I lost 35 lbs in a month when I was diagnosed but if you get too malnourished or dehydrated you are only going to get worse. please take care. At least work on your diet as much as possible. I know its hard but eat what you can.

[rwhiteangel]

Jammie, I live in Nevada and I am going down to the state to ask for medical. maybe, they can help as far as the meds can not afford and no there are no grats just welfare!! sucks! Please pray for me, I hope they approve. I am trying to eat ~ I mean whatever just so I can gain something or absorb somthing as far as nutrients. Have any of you tried ensure? It so expensive, so I thought I would try carnation breakfast and mix it with lactaid free milk..

[sandralawson18]

@rwhiteangel I guess as you get older, your body has

change. You can not no longer eat the stuff you useto

eat, anymore. It show is expensive. I hope everylast

one feels better.
