Crohn’s Disease Facts And Myths

If you suffer from Crohn’s Disease, you should have some accurate information about it.


  1. Crohn’s Disease is not a disease. It is a manmade inflammatory bowel condition.

  2. A Crohn’s Disease diagnosis just means that there is more damage to the colon than IBS, Colitis, or UC.

  3. Scopes and blood work tell you nothing valuable about your bowel condition. The only thing that has any value is your symptoms.

  4. If you have Crohn’s Disease you likely do not need surgery unless you have waited too long for the proper care.

  5. There are effective treatments for inflammatory bowel conditions. They just happen to be natural vs chemical.

  6. The only treatment needed is one that rebuilds the bowel tissue. This treatment uses the natural, organic, raw materials that the flesh of the bowel is made of. The colon is not made of Prednisone.

  7. The only dietary restrictions are to temporarily eat a low fiber diet of no raw fruit, no raw vegetables, no nuts, seeds, or corn. We don’t need to drag roughage over an already inflamed colon.

  8. Crohn’s is a manmade condition from the prior use of synthetic antibiotics taken for some other health issue that destroyed the mucosal lining of the colon.

  9. Crohn’s disease symptoms are incessant diarrhea, blood, mucus, undigested food in the stool, and inflammation.

Crohn’s Disease Basics

Let’s clear up some misconceptions to reduce some of the unnecessary panic and get on the right path.

  1. Crohn’s is 100% curable with the proper use of natural medicine.

  2. Crohn’s is just a more severe case of ulcerative colitis which is just a more severe case of colitis which is just a more severe case of IBS.

  3. Crohn’s is just another one of the inflammatory bowel diseases – which are not diseases.

  4. Crohn’s is not an auto-immune disease. It is a manmade condition as all of the above are.

  5. If you have diarrhea- blood and mucus in your stool as well as pain and bloating you likely have Crohn’s, a non disease.

Why Do I Have Mucus In My Stool?

People who see mucus in their stool are always scared and confused. They can understand diarrhea but mucus? It might sound surprising to know that this is happening for a good reason. It is trying to protect you.

This occurs in more advanced cases of inflammatory bowel conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s. In these conditions, there is considerable damage to the intestinal wall as it is being assaulted by your digestive acids. As the damage gets deeper and close to making contact with nerve and blood tissue it attempts to protect you by releasing mucus into the bowel to stick to the wall to protect it from the acids. Because this is only a stop-gap measure the mucus eventually slides out along with the stool.

Do not ignore this, as it's a sign that you are losing control of the inflammation that is destroying your colon and are headed towards surgery.
