Doctors' responses
For your symptoms, focusing on diet and lifestyle can aid in managing inflammation and supporting gut health. In Ayurveda, conditions like Crohn’s Disease often involve imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to compromised digestive Agni and irritated intestinal tract.
Adjusting your diet may bring some relief. Consuming warm, easily digestible foods can help to soothe the digestive system. Opt for well-cooked vegetables, mung dal, and rice as staple foods. Include ghee, as its anti-inflammatory properties can support gut healing. Avoid raw, cold, or excessively spicy and oily foods that could further irritate digestive tract.
Herbal interventions could also be considered—aloe vera juice taken in the morning on an empty stomach may cool Pitta dosha, reduce inflammation and heal mucosal lining. Another option is adding turmeric in your diet, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, it should be cooked properly in meals to aid absorption.
Since you’re wary of medication like pentasa, it’s crucial to find a balance and consult with healthcare professionals about your options. If possible, seek Ayurvedic practitioner who might offer treatments like basti (medicated enemas), which help cleanse the colon and balance Vata dosha, assisting in tissue nourishment.
Mindful practices, such as yoga, pranayama, and meditation, provide relaxation, which can be important in managing stress-related digestive issues. Practices like, deep breathing and gentle asanas can ground and calm mind, benefiting overall well-being.
Ensure immediate guidance from your healthcare provider for any bleeding or severe symptoms, as these could warrant emergency medical intervention. Exploring these Ayurvedic supportive strategies can complement process and aid in managing condition holistically, listen to your body and proceed cautiously, integrating any new regimen.
