1. Probiotics
Probiotics are essential for people suffering from Crohn’s disease. Probiotics are live bacteria that are similar to “good” bacteria that normally reside in the intestines. They help restore the state of good bacteria in the digestive tract, which in turn enhances digestion, absorption and processing of foods through the intestinal tract.
It is recommended to take probiotic supplements that contain both the L. acidophilus and L. bifidus organisms, both of which promote digestive health.
Consult a doctor for the proper dosage of probiotic supplements.
2. Green Tea
Green tea has many health-promoting benefits for Crohn’s disease due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant properties. Plus, green tea has a positive impact on the immune system, and even reduces the risk of colon cancer.
- Add one teaspoon of green tea leaves to a cup of hot water.
- Cover and steep for five minutes.
- Strain, add some honey and mix well.
- Drink this soothing tea at least three times a day.
