Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
(Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease)

These diseases are considered to belong in the class of so-called "civilized diseases" as they occur almost exclusively in so-called "civilized nations" as their main causes are dietary and lifestyle. Example of possible causes of colitis are: chronic constipation, with or without the abuse of laxatives, a refined diet, red meat, fried foods, sugar, coffee, spices, salt food allergies or sensitivities, aluminum cookware, having an intestinal influenza (flue) episode, courses of antibiotics, intestinal parasites and/or emotional factors such as stress, overwork, anxiety, and/or irregular eating and sleeping habits.

It has been found that a refined diet, with its fiber deficient foods, as well as red meats, can cause constipation or leave toxic residues which adhere to the intestinal lining. These toxic substances not only lead to irritation, inflammation and eventually ulceration of the delicate membranes, but also leads to the absorption of these toxins into the lymphatic system. If an individual has used laxatives regularly in order to assist poor elimination, the laxatives also irritate these membranes and after their initial stimulating action is completed, they can cause bowel stasis. Food allergies or sensitivities, especially to what and/or dairy products, are a common cause of intestinal irritation. The elimination of them from the diet can begin the healing of the intestinal lining.

Many cases of colitis, (especially ulcerative colitis) appear to follow an acute bout of intestinal flu and may be unable to heal due to the presence of other causative factors coupled with poor health and vitality. Yeast overgrowth may also occur as a result of treatment with antibiotics and/or steroids.

Since both the secretary (digestive enzymes) and motor (peristaltic) functions of the gastrointestinal tract are influences by the autonomic nervous system, emotions have a direct effect upon the digestive system. Therefore, any strong emotion, stress or anxiety can lead to a slowing of stopping of all digestive activities including peristaltic action leading to constipation or may result in a powerful and expulsive peristaltic action leading to sudden diarrhea, In this manner, individuals with some form of colitis can have alternating constipation and diarrhea.
