The “standard” medical treatment for Crohn’s Disease is poor at best; consisting of a hodgepodge of pharmaceuticals such as Prednisone and Humira, which may work for a short time, but are ultimately just masking the symptoms and root cause. The standard tests can be painfully invasive, and the success of treatment is not great long term. This is where Functional Medicine (a root cause approach) comes in and has shown to be very effective. I use a comprehensive stool analysis and a few other non-invasive tests to determine what may be the root of your stomach pain, diarrhea, and/or nausea. What I typically find, is a digestive system with high inflammation, and in most cases, an invasive pathogen. Once I have an idea of the cause, I will help you tweak your diet and nutrition, supplement with nutrients to help eliminate the infection, and ultimately help your body heal.
