Crohn’s disease is a complicated immune disorder that wreaks havoc on your body’s digestive processes. Medical professionals aren’t certain as to what causes Crohn’s, but the effects of the disease are well documented: stomach pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting. Luckily, most of the symptoms of the disease can be managed with a healthy Crohn’s diet.

While it’s always best to work with your primary care physician for specific Crohn’s diet tips, there are several common habits that can mitigate your symptoms:

• Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, as anti-inflammatories have been linked to increased Crohn’s symptoms.
• Limit your alcohol intake as well as the consumption of carbonated and caffeinated beverages. Drink fruit juice or water instead.
• Watch out for fatty foods or foods that are high in protein. This is especially true for deep-fried treats and fast food burgers.
• Stop eating spicy foods and foods that are known for creating intestinal gas. try foods with mild spices instead.
• Consider adding a vitamin supplement to your diet that contains either fish oil or flaxseed oil. Omega-3 acids may help with your symptoms.

Any time you change your diet, speak with a dietician or your primary care physician. every person is different and your dietary needs may not be the same as other Crohn’s patients. a smart doctor/nutritionist team can build a tailored Crohn’s diet to keep your symptoms under control that still keeps you healthy and happy. You may not be able to get rid of your medication, but you can certainly improve your quality of life.

I have a feeling that I have adhd but I took fish oil and now I feel much more focused when I do daily tasks and I get much less spacey even when having daily conversations with other people. So does fish oil really work? Or is this just some placebo and something else is helping me out?

I have major depression and one psychiatrist suggested I try fish oil. there has been quite a bit of research on the use of the omega 3 that is in fish oil. In fact, there is a prescription form of omega 3 called Lovaza. The fish oil and Lovaza did not work for me, but my case is difficult.

If fish oil seems to be helping you to focus and be less spacey, I say go for it. whether it is a placebo or not, if it is helping you, then keep taking it. Many orthodox psychiatric meds approved by the FDA work just barely better than placebos.
