Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders in which the intestines become inflamed – a prolonged inflammation of the digestive tract. It can include ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease. It happens when our immune system launches repeated attacks that harm our gut, or repeated and/or prolonged intestinal infection(s) and due to ascarides.

Both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis involve inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and can cause a wide range of symptoms, varying in intensity and duration. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and improved patient’s quality of life.

While some experts call IBD an autoimmune disorder — one in which your immune system attacks your own tissues — I (Dr Qaisar Ahmed) don’t. That’s because there’s evidence that the immune system is reacting to harmless bacteria or other microbes in our gut, rather than the gut tissue itself. In any case, the result is inflammation that injures our bowels, and we should treat inflammation.

Types of IBD

There are two major types of IBD:

Ulcerative colitis. In this disease, the inflammation causes sores and swelling in your colon (large intestine) and your rectum, the end of your digestive tract. It often starts in the rectum.

Crohn’s disease. In this disease, you can have inflammation in any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. Most commonly, though, it affects the last part of the small intestine, the colon, or both.

If not treated Homeopathically, these are both lifelong conditions, but symptoms can come and go and range from mild to severe. Allopathic treatments and lifestyle changes can only help your patients live with inflammatory bowel disease.

What’s the difference between IBD and IBS?

IBS is irritable bowel syndrome and it’s a very different condition from IBD, inflammatory bowel disease. Like IBD, IBS can cause diarrhea, bloating, and other digestive symptoms. But unlike IBD, irritable bowel syndrome doesn’t involve inflammation and doesn’t damage our gut. It also doesn’t lead to symptoms elsewhere in our body, like our eyes and joints. Irritable bowel syndrome can have a big impact on our quality of life but doesn’t threaten our health as much as inflammatory bowel disease might.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Causes

The causes of IBD are complex and not fully understood till now. Whether the immune system’s attack on the digestive tract is autoimmune or aimed at bacteria or other microbes, it’s likely that genes also play a role. Evidence to suggest a genetic role for IBD is strong, for example:

Family history. As many as 20% of people with IBD have a family history of it.

Race and ethnicity. IBD is more common in White people. It’s also more common in Jewish people, especially Ashkenazi Jews.

Scientists have found more than 200 genetic mutations that may increase our risk for IBD. These mutations might affect:

How our immune system reacts to threats,
How well the protective mucus lining of our gut works,
How our body controls bacterial growth in our intestines.

Environment

Some environmental factors may also play a role for example, smoking may double one’s risk of Crohn’s disease. And symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease are sometimes triggered by:

Taking allopathic antibiotics,
Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen, diclofenac, paracetamol, aspirin etc),
Stress.

While foods don’t cause IBD, some people feel worse when they eat or drink certain things such as:

Alcoholic drinks,
Caffeinated drinks, Chocolates etc,
Carbonated drinks,
White sugar,
Artificial milk and foods made with artificial milk,
Fast foods,
Oily foods (processed oils only),
Taking birth control pills,
Allopathic drugs.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptoms

If you have IBD, you can expect times when the disease flares up and causes symptoms and times when your symptoms decrease or disappear for a while. Symptoms range from mild to severe and generally depend upon what part of the digestive tract is involved. They can include:

Abdominal cramps and pain,
Chronic diarrhea,
Bloody stool,
Feeling an urgent need to poop,
Fever,
Unintended weight loss,
Poor appetite,
Fatigue
Nausea, vomiting.

IBD symptoms in women may get worse before or during menstrual periods. Also, premenstrual symptoms, like headaches and cramps, might be worse if patient has IBD. It may also be harder to get pregnant during flare-ups of IBD.

Complications

Some people with IBD have so much bloody diarrhea that they develop anemia from blood loss. That’s especially common in women. Patient also can get dehydrated from diarrhea. Because the inflamed intestines don’t absorb nutrients well, patient can get malnourished, too. If patient have IBD from childhood, it could interfere with her/his growth.

In addition, IBD can lead to several serious complications in the intestines, including:

Heavy bleeding from ulcers,
Holes in the bowel,
Narrowed or blocked bowels, found in Crohn’s disease,
Fistulae (abnormal passages) and tears around the anus, more commonly in Crohn’s disease than in ulcerative colitis,
Toxic megacolon, which is a life-threatening widening and swelling of the colon, more often with ulcerative colitis than Crohn’s disease.

IBD also increases the risk of colon cancer. The risk rises after several years because chronic inflammation in our colon or rectum can cause abnormal cells to form.

IBD can also affect other parts of your body. For example, someone with IBD may have:

Arthritis,
Skin conditions,
Eye inflammation,
Liver disease,
Kidney disease,
Bone loss,
Blood clots.

Having inflammatory bowel disease can be a mental health challenge. It’s not unusual to develop depression, anxiety, and other kinds of distress.

Diagnosis

A good doctor makes the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease based on patient’s symptoms and various exams and tests. Here are some of the most common.

Lab tests

Stool exam. You’ll be asked for a poop sample to send to a lab. One reason is to rule out infections that could be causing diarrhea. Also, the lab will look for traces of blood that can’t be seen with the naked eye.

Complete blood count

Look for increases in white blood cells, suggesting inflammation. If patient has severe bleeding, the test may find low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells).

Other blood tests

Electrolytes (sodium, potassium), protein, and markers of inflammation, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), may be measured to see how serious the disease is. Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (pANCA) levels may be up in ulcerative colitis.

Scoping procedures

Sigmoidoscopy – In this procedure, a doctor uses a sigmoidoscope, a narrow, flexible tube with a camera and light, to look at the last third of the large intestine and rectum. The doctor looks for ulcers, inflammation, and bleeding. They may also take samples, called biopsies, that can be examined later.

Colonoscopy. The doctor uses a colonoscope to examine the entire colon. Biopsies also can be taken during this procedure.

Upper endoscopy. If patient have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, suggesting problems in upper digestive tract, he/she might get this test. With endoscope, a doctor can look at patient’s esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, which is the first part of our small intestine.Capsule endoscopy. For this test, patient swallow a small capsule that has a camera in it. It takes pictures of patient’s esophagus, stomach and small bowel and then sends them to a receiver patient wear on a belt. The pictures are downloaded from the receiver onto a computer. Patients poop out the capsule.

Imaging tests

To get images of patient’s digestive tract, a doctor might order:

Computed tomography (CT scan),
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
Ultrasound,
X-rays (barium).

Patient might swallow the barium or have it inserted through her/his rectum or a tube in her/his nose or mouth.

Treatments

Both allopathic and Homeopathic Treatment Starts from a combination of self-care and medical treatment.

Self-care for inflammatory bowel disease

Tracking symptoms – patient should pay attention to the times her/his symptoms are likely to worsen, especially during flares, so patient can plan his/her activities — and know where her/his nearest washroom/restroom will be when patient need it.

Eating carefully

Dietary changes may help manage the symptoms. For instance, suggest your patient smaller, more frequent meals or limiting certain foods that trigger symptoms. During IBD flares or after a surgery, a doctor should suggest a very restricted diet to make sure patient get enough nourishment.

Quit smoking

Having IBD is one more powerful reason to quit smoking. Smoking can make patient’s symptoms worse and medications less effective.

Managing stress

Since stress can make symptoms worse, learn what stress management techniques work for your patient. Consider meditation, exercise, deep breathing, journaling, and taking time for activities patient likes and can enjoy.

Getting mental health support

If patient is depressed, anxious, or otherwise distressed about his inflammatory bowel disease, refer to the psychologist or other mental health professional.

Finding support groups

It also can help to talk with others going through IBD. In a support group, patient can get and share tips for day-to-day living with inflammatory bowel disease.

Maintaining health

Ask your patient to protect her/his overall health by keeping up with usual screenings, like mammograms and blood pressure checks, and getting checked for colon cancer. Some people with IBD may need extra checks for cervical cancer, skin cancer, and bone health.

Allopathic treatment for irritable bowel disease

Allopathic treatment for irritable bowel disease is still under experimental stages. In mean time the goal of allopathic treatment is to stop the abnormal inflammation so intestinal tissue has a chance to heal. As it does, diarrhea and abdominal pain should ease. Once the symptoms are under control, treatment will focus on reducing flare-ups and keeping patient’s symptoms at bay for as long as possible.

Allopathic doctors often take a step-by-step approach with medications for inflammatory bowel disease. This way, the least harmful drugs or drugs that are only taken for a short time are used first. If they don’t work, more powerful drugs are used. Here are some of the common drugs used.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Treatment typically begins with amino salicylates, which are aspirin-like anti-inflammatory drugs such as:

Balsalazide (Colazal),
Mesalamine (Asacol, Apriso, Lialda, Pentasa),
Olsalazine (Dipentum),
Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine).

Some of these drugs can be given as suppositories or enemas. Others are pills.

Treatment with corticosteroids quickly reduce inflammation and also dampen the immune system but they have serious long-term side effects, such as increases in infection and bone loss, so should not be advise for a long time.

Immune system suppressors

If anti-inflammatory drugs don’t work, these might be tried next. These drugs dampen the immune system activity that can damage the lining of patient’s digestive tract. They aren’t used for acute flare-ups because they may take as long as two to three months to work. They include drugs like:

6-mercaptopurine, or 6-MP (Purinethol),
Azathioprine (Imuran),
Methotrexate (Rheumatrex),
Ozanimod (Zeposia),
Tofacitinib (Xeljanz),
Upadacitinib (Rinvoq).

Note: In preliminary studies, tofacitinib has been linked with an increased risk of serious heart-related problems and cancer.

Biologics

These are newer drugs that target specific proteins in patient’s body that cause inflammation. These include drugs like:

Adalimumab (Humira),
Certolizumab (Cimzia),
Golimumab (Simponi),
Infliximab (Remicade),
Risankizumab (Skyrizi),
Ustekinumab (Stelara),
Vedolizumab (Entyvio).

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are less commonly used for ulcerative colitis, only if patient has Crohn’s disease, especially if he/she has diseased tissue around her/his anus.

Other drugs and supplements

The doctor may also recommend medicines or supplements to help with bowel movements. These might include drugs that treat diarrhea, like loperamide (Imodium A-D), or herbal fiber supplements, like psyllium powder/Ispaghul Husk (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel) that add bulk to patient’s stool.

Advise drugs like antispasmodics that reduce muscle spasms in patient’s gut, easing pain. If patient need pain relieving drugs, recommend acetaminophen. You shouldn’t recommend drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, they will increase stomach bleeding.

For patient’s need – recommend nutritional supplements, like vitamins and minerals.

Formula feeding (enteral nutrition)

In some cases, patient might temporarily get all his nutrition through a liquid formula that he/she drinks or get through nasogastric feeding (a tube in her/his nose or stomach).

Clinical trials

If patient don’t respond to the drugs and other allopathic treatments recommended for IBD, talk with your patient about enrolling in a clinical trial (clinical trials or experimental drugs – are the way new treatments for a disease are tested to see how effective they are and how patients respond to them). You can find out about clinical trials at the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America website.

Surgery for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

If allopathic medicines for IBD stop working or patient has severe complications, doctor might recommend surgery. In general, these surgeries are done to remove, widen, or repair damaged parts of intestines. The kind of surgery possible depends on what kind of IBD patient have and where the damage is, patient’s age and overall health will also be considered.

Surgery for ulcerative colitis

According to allopathic theory, about 30% of patients with ulcerative colitis need surgery at some point. A patient might need surgery for ulcerative colitis if he has:

Life-threatening complications like severe bleeding, toxic megacolon, or a hole in his/her large intestine,
Colon cancer or precancerous growths,
Severe symptoms that don’t improve with allopathic medication,
Symptoms that only respond to corticosteroids, putting one at risk for severe side effects.

The main surgery for ulcerative colitis involves the removal of the entire colon and rectum. Once they’re removed, surgeon will perform an additional procedure or set of procedures to create a new path for the stool. The common choices are:

Proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis

This is removal of the colon and rectum, followed by the creation of an internal pouch that will let patient poop through her/his anus. Patient may temporarily need an external pouch and may need several surgeries to complete the treatment.

Proctocolectomy with end ileostomy

It involves removal of the colon, rectum, and anus. Then, the surgeon makes an opening in the abdomen that connects with patient’s small intestine. This opening allows patient poop to empty into ostomy pouch (a removable outer bag).

Surgery for Crohn’s disease

Up to 55% of patients with Crohn’s disease need some kind of surgery within a decade of diagnosis. These surgeries often are done to:

Repair fistulas, abscesses, or blockages,
Stop bleeding,
Remove severely inflamed tissues,
Remove cancers or precancers and prevent future colon cancers.

Surgical procedures for Crohn’s can include:

Small bowel resection. This is surgery to remove part of the small intestine. Patient might need it if he has a blockage or severe damage in his/her small intestine.

Large bowel resection. This is surgery to remove part of the large intestine. Patient might need it if he has a blockage, a fistula, or severe damage in the large intestine.

Proctocolectomy and ileostomy. This is surgery to remove patient’s entire colon and rectum and will get ostomy pouch (a removable outer bag) to collect her/his poop. Unlike ulcerative colitis patients, Crohn’s patients usually can’t get an internal pouch because of the risk of inflammation returning.

Homeopathic treatment for irritable bowel disease

In Homeopathy, there are many best and well proven medicines for irritable bowel syndrome and its causes, which cures not only the disease and all its symptoms in just few days (or in severe or chronic cases a month or three) but co-diseases too.

The goal of Homeopathic treatment is to treat the inflammation and cure patient once and for ever from all symptoms. All Homeopathic medicines for IBD should be advised highly diluted said Dr. Qaisar Ahmed. Here are few of Homeopathic medicines for irritable bowel syndrome:

Nux Vomica

In my (Dr. Qaisar Ahmed) opinion Nux Vomica is the top medicine for IBS. The prominent symptom is frequently/urging constantly passage of a small quantity of stool with colic like abdominal pain. The abdominal pain relieved after each stool for a time. This is most of the times accompanied by a distended abdomen after eating.

Bilious attacks, Biliousness, Carriage/sea/motion-sickness, Catarrh, Clavus, Colic, Constipation, Convulsions, Cramp, Delirium, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Dyspepsia, Emissions, Erotomania, Gallstones. Gastritis, Liver disorders, Locomotor ataxia

Food that worsens the condition is spicy food, coffee, and alcoholic drinks. The worsening of condition after anger spells is also an important marker for natural Homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica.

Aloe Socotrina

Aloe Socotrina is the best choice when the urge to pass stool is soon after eating or drinking something. Irregular intestinal movements, Severe gastritis, mucus may be expelled along with stool, pain in the abdomen (colic) before and during stool which vanishes after passing stool, Tenesmus, Colin Tuberculosis.

Alumina

If IBS is with constipation (intestinal dryness), Alumina is the medicine of my choice, obstinate constipation, knotty stools, slow intestinal pace, the stool remains in the rectum for many days without any urge to pass stool. that’s why the stool expelled with much strain.

Weak peristaltic movements, dryness of mucus membrane. Sometimes the stool is soft but hard to expel (low intestinal pace, weak intestine).

Carbo Vegetables

IBS with bloated abdomen, heavy and tense abdomen soon after eating, even the simplest and softest kind of food seems to worsen the condition. The passage of gas or belching provides slight relief. Acidity accompanied by frequent loose stool of offensive odor. Cramping pain in the abdomen may also be present.

Symptoms include rumbling in abdomen, flatulence, bitter mouth taste, belching that tastes like ingesta and changeable stool. These symptoms worsen upon consuming milk.

In my (Dr. Qaisar Ahmed MD, DHMS, Isl. Jurisprudence) experience deficiency of some types of minerals makes changes in cylindrical shaped organs especially intestines, that’s why I tried following elements on my patients during last fifteen years and I found great results.

Probiotics for Crohn’s Disease

Patients with Crohn’s and other forms of irritable bowel disease (IBD) lack some of the gut microbes found in other people. Some of these microbes include anti-inflammatory bacteria.

Probiotics are thought to improve gut health by providing living microorganisms that can help repopulate your insides in health-promoting ways.

Some probiotics sources include Yogurt, Kefir, Tempeh.

Supplements

Probiotic supplements – never recommend any type(s) od supplements to your patients – Dr Qaisar Ahmed MD).
