Crohn’s disease: these foods and alternative therapies may help

If you have Crohn’s disease, you know all too well how it affects your body. But while the Crohn’s diet is very individual, there are some foods that are generally pretty easy on the digestive system and still pack a nutritional punch. Combine that with regular colonics, yoga or other alternative therapies, and you have a recipe for good health.

Here are some foods that may help with Crohn’s:

• Almond milk: If you have Crohn’s, lactose isn’t your friend. Almond milk solves that problem. Some almond milk contains as much calcium as regular milk. It also has vitamin D and E and contains no saturated fat or cholesterol.
• Salmon: We like organically-raised or fresh-caught salmon the best. But most of the calories you’ll receive from any kind of salmon are from protein. And it’s packed with omega-3 fatty acids.
• Avocado: Organic avocados are packed with good fats, vitamins and potassium. They are also soft, smooth and easy to digest.
• Eggs: Any way you cook them, eggs are packed with protein and easy on the digestive tract. They are also relatively inexpensive, which is why we recommend going with the slightly more expensive organic variety.
• Nut butter: Almond butter and other smooth butters are an extremely good source of protein, vitamins and good fat. And if you get the smooth kind, it’ll be much easier for your body to digest.

Here are some therapies that may help with Crohn’s:

• Colon hydrotherapy: A lot of diseases are caused by a build of toxins the digestive tract. By cleansing the colon, you cleanse the body and give it a chance to start fresh.
• Yoga: Yoga has a wide range of benefits, and it may help ease inflammation within the body.
• Lymphatic massage: Increasing the flow of lymph within the body can help stimulate natural healing, which is idea for autoimmune disorders.
• Meditation: The mind is extremely powerful. Calming the mind via meditation may help with symptoms.
