Recommended Tests for Crohn's Disease
In order to find the natural cures for Crohns disease that might be most effective, Dr. Mehl-Madrona suggests these tests:
- Consider being
tested for intestinal permeability. The more "leaky" your gut is, the
more likely any food can cause problems.
- You need to be
tested for gluten sensitivity, which is common in Crohn's disease.
- Dr.
Mehl-Madrona says he usually orders anti-casein antibodies. If these
antibodies are positive, it means you are having an auto-immune
reaction (attacking your own intestines), which is being triggered by
gluten or dairy (casein).
- The ELISA/ACT
test to look for delayed hypersensitivity reactions to foods so that
you can eliminate those foods from your diet. You might be surprised at
what sets off the symptoms.
While
there are not yet definite
natural cures for Crohns disease, there are natural remedies that can
be tried
and explored to assist one in healing Crohn’s disease
naturally. It is recommended that individuals carefully
research various treatment options in order to make infformed, educated
decisions about what treatments for Crohn's disease may be best for
them.
