Crohn’s Disease > See the Complete List
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); causing inflammation of your whole digestive tract, from mouth to anus, which leads to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. It is typically an autoimmune response in the digestive tract and may also have a significant genetic component. The condition can be complicated by obstruction of the bowel and abscesses; Chrohn's Disease is 2-4 times more prevalent in the Jewish heritage. There is no precise etiology but there are several risk factors which include: family history, smoking, diet, imbalances in the gut microbiome, and oral contraceptive use.
The Stram Center has had much success with identifying the potential triggers of this disease by utilizing extensive microbiome mapping, food sensitivities, and intestinal bacterial pathogens. Although the most common conventional treatment for Crohn's is immunosuppressive pharmaceuticals for long term, we believe addressing the proper etiology of the disease can reduce the severity of the disease and/or eradicate it completely . Our treatments include novel utilization of probiotics, acupuncture, herbal supplements and dietary interventions, nutritional iv therapies and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
