Crohn’s disease is chronic, ranging in its symptoms, and can present severe complications if not treated. By looking at the factors affecting your lifestyle and gut microbiome, Dr. Dan Wool can provide effective naturopathic treatment for your digestive problems and relieve your symptoms.

Why Choose Naturopathy for Crohn’s Disease?

Gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and abdominal cramps are often overlooked as mild stomach flu. However, in chronic cases, these symptoms can lead to inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it affects the entire digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, causing difficulties with eating and absorbing nutrients properly.

Crohn’s disease’s official cause is uncertain, but it is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks itself, in this case, various parts of the digestive tract. It can be challenging to diagnose for most physicians because its symptoms vary from person to person. The complex nature of this disease means that all potential causes, either internal or external, should be investigated to address the symptoms at hand and to prevent complications. Naturopathic medicine offers this holistic approach.

It’s essential that people with Crohn’s disease seek treatment.  About 70% of patients with Crohn’s disease need surgery due to complications such as infections, obstructions, and perforations. Adverse effects from anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating medications can, at times exacerbate symptoms.  Increasing reliance on medications can increase the severity of inflammatory episodes without treating root causes.

Crohn’s disease can be challenging to manage, but natural treatments and addressing the whole person can effectively remedy symptom flare-ups. Dr. Dan Wool can recommend natural options for patients with Crohn’s Disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases using clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and other gentle naturopathic modalities.
