I believe that drinking water is so important. It is critical for our body to function correctly. We can all agree on that. People who suffer from Crohn’s pose a real risk of becoming dehydrated; you may even want to use electrolyte-replacement beverages as they can help. Also remember to drink enough water before, during, and after activity. Staying ahead of dehydration is critical. Once you actually feel real thirst you are actually dehydrated. It takes 21 days of not feeling thirsty to correct this problem in your body. So to avoid this I recommend that you sip [not skull] plenty of water during the day, I also believe that you should make sure you are drinking water at room temperature or drink the water slightly warm. You can add lemon to it to improve the taste if you desire. To to make sure you are getting enough drink water following this plan: [a] Have a glass of water at your bedside so that you can drink water during the night if you wake up. [b] On rising, drink a glass of warm water with lemon in it. This starts the digestive juices flowing and can also assist in going to the toilet if that is a problem for you. The lemon also adds flavor to enable you to drink the required amount of water. [c] Aim to drink 1 litre of water by lunchtime (sitting the water bottle at your work station and sipping from it continuously will help). [d] Continue to sip on the water after lunch and aim to drink another litre by dinner time. [e] Once you are home, continue to sip water and aim to drink another litre by bedtime. The following are also some reasons as to why you should drink water at a certain time as drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the human body :
So let me know how you go with drinking more water and tell me the benefits you experience.

Today I am sharing something completely different with you. It is a different way of viewing not only the world BUT also this thing we have called Crohn's. No one knows the cause of Crohn's Disease. So, instead let's make up a name for the cause and will call it squawlg. You might think this sounds CRAZY!!!! But for what I'm going to talk about today the cause doesn't matter. However, I do know one thing it is NOT caused by, and that is a lack of medication and surgery because we tried that. So what's next? Imagine if we could go to a parallel universe where
Ok, so that place simply doesn't exist. But you can be useful in this universe.
I jog, I fast, I meditate, I pray, I am thankful, I am a Dad. But I realised I just needed to get good with everything thrown at me. I have been in a coma for months, I have clinically died 3 times and I have searched for teachers. I discovered that "Life is neither happening for us, or it is happening to us, it is just happening. So as Nike says "Just do it." Live your life, learn to "Love your dis-ease", it is teaching you your next steps. I will continue to post happy thoughts because you need to be reminded of that until you don't! The other thing to remember is "Don't make 5-year plans, make 5-minute plans." I wish you well Dr Michael LEGAL DISCLAIMER - This article (including links to any/all website pages, blog posts, blog comments, forum, videos, audio recordings, etc.) is not intended to replace the services of a physician, nor does it constitute a doctor-patient relationship.

It's a fact. No one wants to go under the knife and have surgery. It is a very daunting experience. Then there is the sometimes long recovery period afterwards. I can speak from experience here as I have undergone surgery three times and as a result of complications (an infection in the hospital which left me in Intensive care for a month and stuck in the hospital for four more) have been left with 90 cm of the small bowel. So even though it can be stressful, there are certain things you can do to make not only your lead up to surgery smoother but your recovery a whole lot easier, enabling you to return to health quicker. 6 Ways To Prepare Your Body for Surgery 1. Turmeric There are currently over 7,000 studies researching the efficacy of turmeric and its active (anti-inflammatory) component curcumin. Turmeric is also antibacterial, is a natural pain killer as it reduces inflammation, boosts immunity, aids liver detoxification, aids your body to deal with stress, its antioxidant rich, aids digestion and contains many more health benefits. When you schedule your surgery try drinking a Turmeric shot.
NOTE: You may not be able to continue taking the turmeric leading up to the surgery as you may have to avoid all blood thinners, even natural ones such as turmeric, ginger, garlic and olive leaf. As soon as you get home from surgery, continue to have your daily turmeric shots. Disclaimer: thin blood can be dangerous during surgery since it may not clot properly. It’s important you talk to your doctor or surgeon so you know which medications, supplements and real foods will need to be avoided and for how long. 2. Coconut Oil Pulling Oil pulling is a fantastic oral detoxification practice. You simply swish a few teaspoons of coconut oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. I opted to add in a few drops of the highly potent oregano oil for maximum antiseptic and antifungal properties, as oregano oil is also a natural antibiotic and aids in the treatment of infections. 3. Probiotics Like Hippocrates, I truly believe that ‘all disease begins in the gut’ So make sure you do everything you can to prepare your gut and body for the unavoidable antibiotics and drugs. Make yourself some smoothies and add these Probiotics to receive all the benefits. 4. Bone Broth - Gelatin and Collagen All three of these foods provide a bioavailable form of minerals, trace minerals, calcium, magnesium and amino acids which are essential for healing of the digestive tract, hormonal balance, digestion, sleep, liver detox, skin and hair, nails and teeth health. Additionally, the amino acids found in these foods promote probiotic balance and growth. This is how you can use all three foods.
5. Loading up on Greens Making sure you include Supreme Greens into your daily food intake is also extremely beneficial. They provide incredible amounts of nutrition in just one spoonful. They are full of vitamins and minerals, are easily digested, absorbed and utilised. Add them to your smoothies. 6. Stress Management Stress adds so much havoc to your body, as it suppresses the immune system, decreases nutrient absorption, slows down the blood flow to the digestive system and turns off or turns down our body’s healing processes. We know how important stress management is, however sometimes it’s a lot easier said than done and is a constant work in process. However, if stress is not managed, it weakens the immune system over time which doesn’t allow the body to fight off bad bacteria and viruses, resulting in systemic inflammation and leaky gut. So because you need your body to work to the best of its ability so you can have a speedy recovery include these into your daily routine

Today I am going to discuss three more challenges that arise because you are a woman and you have Crohn's Disease. So here they are - 1. Having Crohn’s disease can impact your sex life. Crohn’s disease in women may cause swelling in the genital area and occasionally fistulas can develop. Some can even develop a fear of intercourse because of the pain, and others may avoid sex altogether because of fear that stool will leak. Some women may avoid dating altogether because they're embarrassed by the symptoms which can include gas and frequent trips to the bathroom. 2. Women with Crohn's Disease have Body Image Issues. Women with Crohn’s disease are more likely to report body image dissatisfaction than men with the disease. These body image issues could be related to weight loss or embarrassment over symptoms or surgical scars. 3. Crohn’s Disease in women tends to fluctuate with hormonal levels. Symptoms of Crohn’s disease in men aren’t affected by the rises and falls in hormone levels. Women report more bowel movements and cramping around the time of their period. Remember if you have any more questions about Crohn's Disease and being a woman then look out for Part 2 in this series or please free to email me at mycrohnsdoctor@gmail.com or visit my Facebook Page at My Crohn's Doctor.

Women tend to experience Crohn's Disease and its symptoms in a different way to men. Being a woman with Crohn's Disease can have its own unique concerns. Some of the symptoms that women may experience can include missed periods, fertility issues, pain during sex to name just a few. So if you are female and you have Crohn's Disease then here are 4 Things that you need to be aware of. 1. You may be at a higher risk of anaemia. Anaemia due to blood loss is a condition marked by low levels of iron in the blood. In women with Crohn’s disease, blood loss from menstrual flow decreases iron stores, and then there's the potential bleeding from the illness. What’s more, reduced absorption of iron can also occur when the small intestine is inflamed. Consult your specialist, be tested and supplement if necessary. 2. You may be affected during pregnancy. The reproductive system and your digestion are neighbours so it makes sense that one can affect the other. You may have a slightly higher chance of a miscarriage due to your disease, and you, therefore, should work closely with your obstetrician and your gastro during your pregnancy. If you are taking medications, these will need to be discussed as well. Making sure you maintain your nutritional requirements is also a significant concern as your ability to absorb nutrients can be compromised in Crohn’s disease. You have to eat well during pregnancy because the baby only has access to the nutrients that you absorb. 3. Your symptoms may alter according to your hormone levels. This is straight from an expert in this field. “Women with Crohn’s disease report more bowel movements and cramping around the time of their period,” says Marla Dubinsky, MD, co-director of the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and president of WeCare, an organization devoted to the advancement of women in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Symptoms of Crohn’s disease in men aren’t affected by rises and falls in hormone levels, she says. 4. It may cause missed periods and changes in your fertility levels. Missed periods and fertility issues may be due to medications that treat Crohn’s disease, weight loss, hormonal changes, or problems with absorbing nutrients due to your Crohn's Disease. “If you’re in remission from Crohn’s disease at the time of conception, you’ll likely be able to conceive and have an uncomplicated pregnancy and healthy delivery,” says Dr Schnoll-Sussman. However, it's more difficult to become pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy if Crohn’s disease is active. "Discuss your plans with your doctor well in advance of conception to help assure a healthy pregnancy,” Schnoll-Sussman says.

I discussed in my last BLOG Post about how slowing down your chewing can help improve your digestion. Have you tried it yet? My family all eat at this much slower pace, and one definite improvement is we get to spend longer at the dinner table. It's a great time to check in with each other and also find out what's going on in your kids lives (and sometimes your partner as well haha). So as well as having Crohn's Disease your bloating, gas, indigestion, and reflux can all be caused if the stomach is not acidic enough, or if there is not enough stomach acid to break down food. Either of these could be adding to your digestive issues. If you are having digestive problems, you may want to try increasing the acidity of your stomach acid before meals by consuming apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. So how do I do this? Try having the juice of ½ a lemon or 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a few tablespoons of water 20 minutes before eating. Trial this for 4 weeks, and see if it makes a difference to your digestion. TIP: Avoid drinking water with your meals as this further dilutes your stomach acid.

Good digestion is the basis of good health as proper digestion enables the nutrients in our food to be available for absorption and use in the body. This is even more important when you have Crohn's Disease. But quite often those that have Crohn's Disease struggle with this absorption. We then exhibit all the signs of poor digestion ranging from bloating, gas, indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea, and reflux. So what should you do? Well, the first step in ensuring that the food you eat is well broken down is to slow down and chew! We all eat in a rush due to stress and our busy lifestyles. We don't pause between bites and we sometimes only chew each mouthful four or five times. The role of the mouth, teeth and tongue is to break down food into small pieces so that when the food gets to the stomach, it is ready to be broken down by the stomach acid. The mouth is super important as it is the only place in which food can be broken down like this, so it is essential to chew slowly and correctly. Large pieces of food are not easily broken down by stomach acid, as the surface area to volume ratio of the food is too small. So slowing down, and chewing each bite 15-20 times are very simple ways to aid your digestion. Try this tip and let me know how you go. NOTE: if you struggle to eat slowly try putting your fork down on your plate between each bite.

Who struggles with lack of energy around 3 pm and reaches for a sugar fix? Sure it feels good at the time BUT why doesn't that fix last and you need another one not long after the first one? No point me just saying out how bad it is for us, we all need ways to beat it. My mum has commented that when she has given up sugar she feels like she is coming off a drug [this is funny as she has never smoked or rarely drunk alcohol and definitely never taken illegal drugs] BUT she complains of headaches, tiredness, feeling sick etc. I have also felt in the past that if I am feeling stressed and lacking energy I CRAVE IT. Sure I felt good for a while but then the crash set in and I wanted it again. A vicious cycle. To answer this I have included my Top 7 Reasons to Ban Sugar. 1. To be plain and simple - Sugar is Not Food – Sugar provides your body with little more then empty calories/kilojoules. It does not provide any nutritional value BUT in fact it actually causes your body to take vitamins from other organs in an attempt to process the sugar you are eating. This then leaves you undernourished. 2. Consuming Sugar Suppresses your Immune System - Sugar interferes with the body by overtaxing its defences. As a crohn’s disease sufferer this is something we don’t want to do. We want our body to be working at the highest possible level that it can be. 3. Having Sugar in your diet Makes You Nervous – There is a clear link between excess sugar and disorders like anxiety and depression because of the extreme levels of insulin and adrenaline. Again as a crohn’s disease sufferer we need to try and avoid stressing out our bodies as much as we can. We all have enough stress in our lives. 4. Sugar Causes Diabetes, Kidney and Heart Problems – Excess sugar can damage the pancreas's ability to function properly. Our digestion system is already compromised why have other organs not work properly. 5. We all know this one, Eating Sugar Rots Your Teeth – Sugar increases the bacteria in your mouth that erodes enamel. I don’t know about you but I already had a lot of problems with my teeth as a result of this disease. 6. It Makes You Fat – Sugar is filled with calories/kilojoules that are actually stored in your fat tissues. I know this sounds great if you are on the skinny side or have trouble gaining weight with your crohn’s BUT there are better ways to do this. 7. It makes you look older because Sugar Causes Wrinkles – Consuming a diet high in sugar damages the collagen in your skin. None of us want that. So think about this as cutting sugar out of your diet will certainly improve your health. How to Wean Yourself off Sugar. I think this is such good news. It actually takes you about 7 days to get your addiction to sugar and sugary foods out of your system. However this does not mean your cravings will disappear but the intense addiction you experience needs that amount of time to go. Now you can either wean yourself off sugar or go cold-turkey. The choice is yours — you pick the way that works for you as we are all different. However remember that having crohn’s disease is stressful enough so you might find the cold turkey method too much to handle. I think for most of us the weaning yourself off sugar slowly works better. Tips on How to Wean Yourself off Sugar Slowly: 1. Never miss a meal – How do you feel when you miss a meal – STARVING right? – Well this feeling actually makes us want to eat ANYTHING to get our blood sugar levels under control. And what is the anything we select? Yes you are right, it is generally high sugar foods. Of course they bring our blood sugar levels under control BUT then we crash. 2. Consume fresh fruit – You might be thinking – hang on isn’t fruit high in sugar – Well yes it is but it is natural sugar and the fruit also contains vitamins, minerals and fibre which we need for a healthy life. 3. Limit your intake of Desserts – During your first week of weaning only eat this type of food once a day. In Week 2 only eat dessert food twice a week. Then in Week 3 only once a week. Make it your rule to have fruit [raw or poached/cooked] at least half of the time. 4. Avoid missing meals – When we miss meals our body goes into starvation mode. When you are in this state you will eat ANYTHING to get your blood sugar levels back to normal. GUESS what you reach for first? Yes the high sugar foods that get your blood sugar back to normal quickly BUT then what happens - WE CRASH AGAIN. If you avoid missing meals this does not occur. 5. Don’t drink sugary drinks – Do not drink the sugary drinks that are available everywhere eg iced teas, soda/soft drinks, energy drinks and juices. They are full of sugar. If you feel like the bubbles use sparkling mineral water and add fresh fruit eg lemons, limes and/or oranges. 6. Do not have sugary foods in your cupboards or fridge – Temptation is an ugly thing – avoid it 7. If you do have cravings go for a walk – It has been discovered that athletes actually crave more salty foods after exercise – it also clears your head which is a great thing for us all to do as well.

This is probably because there are literally thousands of coffee shops everywhere you go. You will find a lot of information about caffeine and the effects it can have on your body. Does it increase inflammation or does it make you more stressed by raising your heart rate. AND the list can go on (and on). I have gone through the ban caffeine 100% from my diet but over time I have come to implement these rules for drinking coffee. If I wake up tired in the morning, then definitely I do not drink caffeine after 2pm. In fact, I like to have 1 coffee in the morning for enjoyment and usually to catch up with someone. That satisfies my love of coffee without damaging my health. I also make sure I never drink coffee on an empty stomach as this can lead to exhaustion and feelings of false hunger later. Here are some other thoughts on the effect coffee can have on your body. Your Sleep Habits and Coffee. It is important to get a good night’s sleep, especially between 11 pm and 7 am. Good quality sleep helps your body heal as restful sleep activates your body’s own regenerative abilities. This is when your body repairs and restores itself. However, the caffeine in coffee can interfere with this process. A study measured sleep quality when people consumed 400 mg of caffeine (about the amount in a Venti Starbucks) at bedtime, 3 hours before bedtime and 6 hours before bedtime. All groups experienced a statistically significant reduction in sleep. Think about your afternoon pick me up as well as this may even interfere with your quality of sleep. Also, remember the importance of sleep when you have Crohn’s Disease. I have talked about this in detail here. Coffee & your Adrenal Health. When drinking caffeine, neurons are triggered in your brain and your adrenal glands start producing adrenaline. This “fight or flight” response is perfect when you need to lift a car off an injured person, but not if you’re sitting at your desk working. When the adrenaline wears off, you’re left feeling wiped out, anxious and moody. Next stop? You guessed it! Off to dose up on more caffeine, sugar or other stimulants. It’s a vicious daily cycle. ( Admit it we've all done this) This continuous roller coaster results in adrenal exhaustion. And when your adrenal glands are tired out, they can’t be as effective at doing their many jobs, which include: producing other essential hormones, boosting your immune system, regulating the health of your body tissues and balancing blood sugars. To make matters worse regular coffee drinkers need more and more caffeine over time to get the same adrenaline boost, which can lead to adrenal burnout. Signs of adrenal burnout include: relentless fatigue, constant low blood sugars, depression, allergies, joint and muscle pain and chronic infections. Things some of us already experience and obviously don't want more of these symptoms in our lives. The good news is that adrenal exhaustion and burnout caused by too much caffeine can be remedied by eliminating excessive stimulants and stresses on the body. So, if you can keep your caffeine intake to one or two cups of caffeinated coffee a day, you probably won’t experience the roller coaster—and .you just might experience some benefits! How Coffee Impacts Your Boobs. Listen up ladies, this one’s for you. Women who are prone to breast cysts and lean women with osteoporosis running in their families, will probably want to stay away from too much coffee and other highly caffeinated drinks. Caffeine tends to increase the lumpiness of breast tissue, making those lumps more tender, and making monthly self-exams more difficult to do. See your doctor if you ever feel even the slightest lump. And if it turns out to be a benign cyst, you may want to try reducing these lumps by taking evening primrose and vitamin E. (You could take about 1,000 mg of evening primrose and 400 to 800 IUs of vitamin E.) Of course, it’s always smart to talk to your doctor about new supplements, so run this by them for good measure. How Coffee Impacts Your Bones. As for bone health, high coffee consumption (more than 3 cups per day) may decrease bone density in women, therefore increasing the risk of osteoporosis. This could be in part due to the decrease in calcium absorption and increase in urinary calcium that happens with caffeine consumption. If this is the case for you, you may want to peel back on the number of cups you’re drinking per day. Remember I have previously discussed the health of your bones and having Crohn’s Disease. AND this may be important for both sexes. If you have any more questions then please free to email me at mycrohnsdoctor@gmail.com or visit my Facebook Page at My Crohn's Doctor.

What has been found to be common with people who have digestive problems is that often the low back is compromised. Meaning Subluxation, a misalignment in the spine is present in the low back, which can effect the brains communication with the organs, glands and tissues in the lower part of the body. According to the results of a recent study on “Chronic Nerve Compression,” Subluxation may play a significant role in the cause of Crohn’s Disease and other digestive problems. The pressure on the nervous system that results from chronic undetected subluxation (spinal misalignment) can have significant effects on digestion and the absorption of nutrients and liquids. “It is easy to see why people with all kinds of digestive and intestinal disorders respond very well to specific Chiropractic Corrective Adjustments. All human processes are monitored and controlled by the human brain, spinal cord and the network of nerves exiting the spine that run through the whole body,” the researchers said. There is alternatives to conventional methods of attempting to improve bowel function. Not only should a change in diet and nutrition be looked at, but also the health and the state of the spine and nervous system. In a study looking at Chiropractic patients with digestive problems, a massive 70% of the patients who had battled with chronic digestive problems showed long term and stable remission of their symptoms without the need for drugs after receiving 12 – 52 weeks of specific corrective chiropractic adjustments.
