Chrones disease is an inflammatory disease of the bowels. This condition causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss. Several supplements can help ease the symptoms of this condition. Omega 3 fatty acids present in sea foods, walnuts, flax, walnut, canola oil, pumpkin seeds etc have anti inflammatory properties and help ease the symptoms of Chrones disease.

It greatly reduces the occurrence of inflammation in the colon. Iron supplements are a must for people with Chrones disease because intestinal bleeding can cause anemia. Vitamin B12 is also essential in preventing anemia and ensuring proper nerve function. This vitamin is absorbed in the part of the small intestine called ileum. In Chrones disease, absorption of this vitamin may be drastically reduced. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented externally. Medications used to treat this condition may interfere with absorption of calcium.

Therefore it is necessary to supplement calcium and Vitamin D also. Herbs like boswellia and slippery elm are used to ease gastric symptoms and may be effective in easing the symptoms of Cohn’s disease. The enzyme bromelain present in pineapples is also effective in aiding digestion and easing gastric discomfort associated with this condition. IT is advisable to consult your doctor before taking any supplements for Chrones disease.
