Stress and crohns

by Betty
(SA)

Hi

I have a relative who is living in a stressful environment at home. He has severe crohns disease.

Does stress play a big part in triggering this disease?

Can it be stabilised if he was removed from this situation?

He was diagnosed 3 years ago. But no one knows how it came about. Could stress have been the reason why he got crohns disease?

Desperate for some answers or any feedback

thanks

CROHN`S PREVENTION & CURE. NEW
by: Sheila Iris

Vitamin D3 deficiency is a major factor for Crohn's. I take 8,000 - 10,000 I.U. a day,
devided by two, 2x a day.

Try like myself taking the above dosage, but always
with a spoon of Flax or Fish oil, to optimize absorption. Vitamin D will give you energy. Eliminate sugars and replace with Honey
in everything! Honey is a mono-saccharides, and easily
digested by Crohn's afflicted bowels, therefore less
bacterial growth that causes inflammation.
Try also take 1/2 tspn of Manuka Honey, on empty stomach 1 hour before a meal. It heals any wound inside and outside the body!!! It eliminates the common Crohn#s pain!! I tried it when I had
pain from an attack, the pain was gone!($12 a small jar) but lasts for a long time.
SUGARS- IN ANY FORM, IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE
INFLAMED BOWELS OF CROHN'S SUFFERERS. Use HONEY in everything that requires sweetening.
Try to avoid smoking, and coffee only once a day or every other day!
Instead of coffee, to be alert and awake, put a dash or two of CAYENNE PEPPER
into 1/2 cup of warm water, or into salads, soups, any dishes. It does
wonders! It also takes pain away!!!

Taking 2 Tablespoons APPLE CIDER VINEGAR in 1 cup
warm water, daily, helps tremendously!

I take 1 coated ASPIRIN 82 mg. daily, sometime
every other day, and it helps control the inflammation, with no sound effect! It keeps
the blood thinner due to high ESR associated
with Crohn`s disease, that can lead to strokes
in older fox.

You will not regret implementing the above suggestions, as you are getting
them from a Crohn's sufferer like yourself, who is mature in years, and with
experience, and who has tried everything.
I have many more helpful suggestions for emergency situations.

If you don't try, you'll never know...

Check with your G.P. your thyroid level,
and hemoglobin level as well.
You might need Iron pill (better from vegetable
source), www.vitacost.com sells them cheaply - Item #CTL4026594. Take 3 a day with vitamin C - 500-1000 mg, for 3 months.

Chrohn's and Stress NEW
by: Anonymous

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 1985, and have had 5 surgeries with 8-1/2 ft of intestines removed - so I've had a great deal of time to do my own field research. I've had doctors try to tell me that stress isn't supposed to bother Crohn's - to which I asked them if they have Crohn's, and how they would personally know (they have to reply that they don't know on either count). I believe whole-heartedly that stress (and the management of it) is a large contributing factor to dealing wit Crohn's Disease on a daily basis. Do your best to avoid stress - overworking, bad relationships, etc. and (for me) having a strong faith in Christ has helped immensely. I hope and pray that all of you fellow sufferers out there find relief.

Stress and Crohns
by: Anonymous

After serveral years of living a very stressful life, deaths ,loss of job and my home being flooded l was diognosed with this horrible disease.

Over the last 6 months my life began to get back on track and the symptoms became less.

The only medication l have been prescribed since being diognosed is Lanzoprozole for reflux.

I have reflexology every 3 - 4 weeks and have been on homeopathic medication for stress for 2 months, I was even able to lessen the dose over the past 3 weeks.

I also have a diet of foods for aid with inflammation and energy foods (Look on the web)

Until - an elderly relative was admitted to hospital and therefore hospital visits, stressed family members and not sticking to routine is once again taking its toll, stomach ache irregular bowel movements!

I strongly beleive in THREE things

TRY TO AVOID STRESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
TRY ALTERNATIVE MEDICATION
EAT WELL

I will beat this. Good Luck to you all

ABSOLUTELY
by: Andi - Fort Worth

I find that the majority of the people I talk to with Crohn's are most affected by emotional stress, rather than just physical. With any chronic illness, it is crucial to limit physical stress, get enough sleep, etc. But with Crohn's, I think we have to pay special attention to how we cope with emotional stress. So family stress can absolutely affect Crohn's symptoms. While it would not cause the disease or the flare up, it can definitely influence coping. Learning how to draw boundaries, and other coping techniques may help. I think in the initial stages of learning about your disease, therapy with and LPC or LMFT can be helpful. Yoga has been my godsend!
