Crohn’s Disease is a chronic (long term) illness that occurs when the bowel or intestine becomes inflamed or filled with ulcers. Crohn’s Disease is part of a group of diseases, like Ulcerative Colitis that are classified as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
In most cases, Crohn’s Disease affects the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum. However, it can also appear in the large intestine, small intestine, esophagus, or stomach. There have even been reported cases of it forming in the mouth.
Crohn’s Disease can happen at any age, but it is most common to appear between the ages of 15 and 30. With young children and teens it can cause additional issues, like delaying puberty, stunting growth, and weaken bones.
How does Crohn’s disease affects the bowel?
Crohn’s Disease interferes with the normal operation of the bowel in multiple ways.
The bowel tissue can be affected/damaged due to:
-A swelling which leads to a blockage of the pathway inside of the bowel
-Malabsorption, which is the inability of being able to absorb nutrients from food. In the ileum it can be compounded since B12 and bile acids are normally absorbed.
-Ulcers can develop within the deep layers of the bowel wall
-Fistulas (an abnormal passage from one portion of the bowel to another)
What are some symptoms of Crohn’s disease in children and teens?
The symptoms in children and teens can vary depending on which portion of the bowel the Crohn’s Disease has formed in. The location can also affect the severity of the symptoms. But general symptoms include:
-Bleeding
-Chronic Diarrhea (resulting in weight loss)
-Fever
-Abdominal sensitivity/soreness
-Feeling of mass or fullness in the lower right abdomen
Commonly these symptoms can come and go without notice, sometimes having a period of symptoms for weeks then having a number of weeks with no symptoms. There is no way of determining when the symptoms will start, end, or return.
Depending on the severity of the case, other symptoms can also appear. They can experience Gallstones, Kidney Stones, Arthitis, Rashes, Anemia, Liver Disease, and swelling around the mouth and eyes.
How do children and teens develop Crohn’s disease?
There is no known cause for Crohn’s Disease, some believe it is inherited. It is believed that those who have a relative with Crohn’s Disease have a greater risk of developing it. However, the overall risk of getting Crohn’s Disease is considered to be relatively low.
How is Crohn’s Disease treated in children and teens?
The severity and location of the Crohn’s Disease will determine the treatment. The main focus on treating Crohn’s Disease is to focus on the inflammation and correcting the lack of nutrition being absorbed by the body. There are a number of prescription style medications including steroids that are often prescribed by doctors to attempt to fight this disease. Some of these are administered via IV or injection.
However, in some cases, the prescriptions don’t work and are unable to keep the Crohn’s Disease under control. In those cases, your doctor would most likely recommend a surgery to remove a portion of the bowel, although the remaining areas of the bowel have been known to become affected later on.
Many people aren’t happy with the results and/or side effects that come with the prescribed medications and strive to find another more successful approach. A healthier option is an all natural product called Digestinol. This product contains an extremely potent strain of nutrients from the Aloe plant, that have been refined into a powder to prevent any side effects and focus on the main cause of the inflammation and discomfort in your body.
What is Digestinol?
Our product contains AMP (Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides) which is an all natural molecule found in the aloe vera plant. It is known to enhance the body’s immune system due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. We have a 97-98% success rate reported from people who take Digestinol as directed for 90 days or longer.
If you are not interested in prescription medications to treat your condition and prefer a more natural approach, Digestinol makes all natural capsules that contain a very specific form of Aloe Polysaccharides to target the inflammation along your digestive tract.
These capsules also provide your body with the nutrients that it is lacking in order to take back control of itself. Digestinol isn’t just Aloe Vera powder, Aloe Vera (contains Aloin) which irritates your digestive system and can cause diarrhea. Digestinol undertakes very specific additional steps in order to remove the Aloin during their extraction process to focus on only the beneficial portions of the Aloe Leaf, the long chain Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide molecules.
Since Digestinol is 100% all-natural it doesn’t bring along the side effects that other chemically based prescription medications have. We tell our customers to think of Digestinol as an all-natural digestive system specific vitamin that reduces inflammation and provides your body with specific nutrients that allow it to take back control of itself.
Our Digestinol capsules will also help to balance the good and bad bacteria levels in your body allowing it to regain control of its normal operations.
