Juicing Away Crohn's Disease

Juicing Away Crohn's Disease

Many sufferers of Crohn's Disease, encouraged by their doctors believe that simply staying away from certain foods will enable them to live with the illness. Not cure it, mind you, but endure it, because most in the medical community believe that Crohn's is incurable. Some doctors and researchers have broken with their professional community and are looking at lifestyle and diet changes to cure chronic disease. Juicing fruits and vegetables to ease digestion is just one of the newer approaches to battling this painful illness.

It is estimated that more than 50 million Americans suffer from some form of irritable bowel syndrome which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease. Much of this irritation is food intolerance according to researchers. The symptoms usually abate once the so called trigger foods are removed. However, bloating, gas, diarrhea and abdominal pain can sometimes be triggered by so called healthy foods such as sweet potato, broccoli or blue berries. The culprits behind Crohn's are not just unhealthy processed foods.

It is important to identify which foods are causing the inflammation in order to treat the disease. Foods like whole wheat bread, milk, eggs, peanuts and apples or corn will cause a delayed reaction making it difficult to determine which food is causing the intolerance. Doctors and researchers have tests to determine which foods are bad for you and based on the results can craft a daily menu of foods that will work for your body.

A juice fast or juicing has become very popular for dealing with Crohn's disease. Very simply this is reducing fruits and vegetables to juice form, using a high speed machine, and drinking it rather than eating the food. Your digestive system can handle the juices better than attempting to digest the pulp and fiber, which can cause pain, especially if your system is severely damaged. Juicing makes it easier to assimilate the vital nutrients in fruits and vegetables. It is also cleansing and detoxifying for the cells of the body enabling the body to naturally heal itself.

You need to understand when you begin juicing, that fruit juice causes a rise in blood sugar. If you are prone to suffer certain illnesses like thrush or candidas, then you should juice only vegetables and forgo the fruit juice. Headaches or migraines may occur as your body starts to take in good nutrients and to expel toxins that have accumulated in your system. The detoxification can manifest as joint pain or weakening along with the headaches.

Fatigue is another symptom of detoxification. It is important to push through these initial pains and problems, because they are a sign that your system is beginning to heal. On average, it may take several days to two weeks to work through this time, depending on the level of toxicity of the body when you started juicing. Take the time to rest, allowing your body to recuperate and to prepare for the better health that is around the corner.

Start by juicing fruits and vegetables that you like such as oranges, apples or watermelon. Once you've gotten the hang of juicing your favorite fruits, try adding something new like a carrot, or celery stalk. Or, try a half a cucumber and a beet.
