Question:
I am looking for the BEST NATURAL�remedies for healing a flare-up of Crohns ileitis.The ileitis flare-up is the main issue; however it has been complicated with IBS and some rectal inflammation and a little colitis. I would like a web site or book that compares the different herbal homeopathic and vitamin remedies. I AM DESPERATE FOR SOME HELP. Please let me know your thoughts and evaluations of these modalities of treatment.
Answer:
You are mixing up conditions or you do not understand the terminology. Ileitis refers to Crohn's disease in the ileum. You cannot have colitis (ulcerative colitis) and ileitis, You can have granulomatous colitis which is CD of the colon. I tend to think you have CD of the ileum, colon and rectum possibly with IBS superimposed on CD. While I have nothing against herbal or homeopathic treatments I would not rely on them to the exclusion of mainstream medicine.
