“Sara, my stomach starts out flat in the morning and slowly grows with bloat and aches. By the end of the day, I look pregnant and have pain. To add to it, I am so constipated! I can’t figure out what to eat and when to eat to make it any better…Help!
Whether you have a little gas, constipation, or something more severe like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Disease, or Crohn’s disease, the symptoms can range from being uncomfortable to completely debilitating.
According to Dr. Mercola, an estimated 1.6 million Americans struggle with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis; 70,000 new cases of IBD are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. That doesn’t include the rest of us who just suffer from minor symptoms!
Both Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are characterized by symptoms including:
- Frequent Diarrhea or Constipation
- Abdominal Cramps and Severe Pain
- Rectal Bleeding
- Weight Loss or Weight Gain
- Fatigue
- Nausea and Fever
- Headaches
Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease are Autoimmune diseases that can have serious consequences if left unaddressed. The symptoms associated with these conditions are caused by Inflammation in your intestines, which also increases your risk of intestinal blockages, abscesses, bowel perforation and colon cancer.
Why Is There Such a Rise In Cases of Digestive Issues?
The American lifestyle incorporates so many threats to our Gut Bacteria, that our Immune Systems are chronically on “high alert” for the next attack. Whether it is refined sugar, antibiotics, the pesticides in our food, or the toxins in our air that we breathe, our Gut bacteria and overall Immune system (80% of which resides in the GUT) is constantly under attack.
Consider this: When you are constantly under attack (by stress from work or a tiger chasing you), what do you do? Your senses are heightened as you stay in a constant state of “fight or flight” and have an “over-exaggerated” response to anything that may or may not be a true threat. The Immune system reacts the same. Once it has been damaged, it will constantly stay in that “Inflammatory state” and have an Auto-Immune or over-exaggerated response to anything, whether it is a true threat or not.
Furthermore, a number of Gut bacteria and Fungi have been identified as playing a role in IBD. Gut bacteria also influence your Immune responses and play a role in Celiac disease, Food Allergies and Food Sensitivities. IBD is associated with Mal-absorption and Malnutrition, which can result in bone fractures and bone diseases such as Osteopenia and Osteoporosis in addition to other consequences from malnutrition.
