Questions?
Does your child have Crohn’s or Colitis? Having a kid or baby who is sick can be so challenging! Did you know that there are natural things you can do to assist your child to overcome IBD (Crohn’s and Colitis) and immune system malfunction? At Crohn’s & Colitis Lifestyle we not only help adults heal Crohn’s & Colitis but children too! We have worked with all ages and their severe cases of IBD!
Through our blogs we are opening the doors to the secrets we can share with others on healing through natural efforts! In this blog, you will learn our secrets to the natural healing of children with IBD.
In this post, we will share with you our secrets with treating children with Cronhs and Colitis and 4 common conditions that are usually associated with IBD, and how we recommend treating those!
Why do children get IBD? Have you ever asked yourself that question? It’s a great question to ask especially if you have a loved one suffering! Our philosophy at CCL about Crohn’s and Colitis is that those conditions are infectious diseases! Meaning that most likely they are caused by a pathogen (which is any bad bacteria/viruses/parasites/fungus/mold-any overgrowths present in the Body or GI tract.) This is actually good news as it means there are treatments for this and it’s not just some unknown autoimmune disease with no clear treatments!
It’s also interesting to note that when a baby comes through the birth canal it’s infused with bacteria! This bacteria works with the GI tract and the immune system to build a healthy microbiome. Breastfeeding has similar results to help build a strong microbiome. So children born with C section or who have to bottle feed may not have the necessary flora to ward off pathogens as easily resulting in Crohn’s or Colitis or other diseases.
Now that we have a basis for what may have caused your child’s Crohns or Colitis, now let’s jump into solutions!
A huge problem parents have with children and babies who have sour tummies like with IBD is to get them to eat! If their stomach and GI tract is inflamed they can experience discomfort through digestion so no wonder they refuse to eat!
One suggestion we offer at CCLifestyle is to try Absorb Plus for children and meals. Absorb Plus is an amazing product created by Jini Patel Thompson who cured herself of Crohn’s disease naturally 30 years ago and remained in remission. It offers all the mineral, vitamin, and dietary needs in a liquid highly absorbable form, which is what is necessary for those with wounded guts.
Absorb Plus is an elemental diet that has been so helpful for healing Crohn’s & Colitis as no solid stool pass through the GI tract. This can help heal colonic wounds, help address food allergies, SIBO, and the like. These absorbable meals assist with bacterial clear out and can reset the GI for food intolerances.
To learn more about this and the stats on how children have reacted to this product we recommend purchasing her IBD Remission diet book!
Listen to your gut has a variety of flavors and even vegan options. Coconut creme, Chocolate, or Berry can be easily accepted by children for taste.
With that in mind, glutathione can help keep our walls strong, detox out pathogens that help to balance the microbiome, and is fantastic at tissue repair! Glutathione has often been used for injuries to assist in tissue repair-so again when it comes to our guts and the damage that is there, glutathione can really help with that too!
If you have read any of our other blogs we only recommend one brand of probiotics: Natren Probiotics. You can read more here on why we love Natren!
Natren offers a Product called Life Start that is made specifically for babies, children, and any sensitive individuals. It comes in vegan as well!
They offer probiotic powders that can be easily mixed with applesauce or yogurt so that they cant taste it. Some of the CCLifetyle members enjoy mixing the probiotic powders into coconut yogurt for their child. Another thing you can try is if the LifeStart powders are not working for your or child is older and can tolerate more try the Healthy Start capsules and take each strain separately.
As we mentioned earlier essential bacteria may be lost if a C section birth is performed. That is yet another reason that Life Start is superb as the beneficial bacteria that is in Life Start is exactly the bacteria that babies need to get their GI tract in check! It’s the bacterial strains that are needed if a baby is not breastfed.
Fistulas and fissures can be very painful especially for a child or baby! As we discussed IBDcan occur because of some type of overgrowth or microorganism imbalance in the GI tract. These pathogens then can erode the intestinal walls and rectum causing all sorts of issues.
Jini Patel Thompson speaks with the founder and CEO of CCLifetyle Dane Johnson on fistulas, fissures, and the like in this amazing video! If you are curious as to some of the causes of these things please view this video!
So what about a natural treatment? For fissures, you want to stop the tearing (which usually occurs with each BM.) And for the fistulas, you need to stop the infection in that zone. Since fistulas require more intense treatments best to consult a doctor or reach out to our coaching department while looking into these remedies.
Besides diet and other things that they discuss in this video 🙂 there are two products we absolutely LOVE!
#1 Fissure Heal
This product is a suppository and can be inserted into the rectum to heal any fissures! It has so many healing properties included in the mixture, that it is a go-to product.
Now you may be asking but can kids use it? The answer is yes! Please read here straight from the creator of Fissure heal what she says about kids and their use. What we love about these is that they are so tiny and thin that even for the most sensitive rectum (and children’s rectums who are smaller than adults) they are perfect!
#2 Comfrey Salve
This soothing salve can be applied to the rectum and anus to heal and soothe them. Many use it after each bowel movement and can prevent the tearing of another fissure. For babies or children consult your doctor on how to use it, but definitely consider this as a possible option to soothe that pain in that area!
A common occurrence with IBD in adults and children is diarrhea. It’s uncomfortable, irritating, and affects your life (or your child’s) to say the least. Since the GI tract is so irritated (in most cases) from an overgrowth/parasite/fungus etc…the body tries to purge it out leading to diarrhea.
So here is our tip for this section try L glutamine. Why? L Glutamine has been known to bind up and slow down the process in the colon resulting in less or no diarrhea.
L Glutamine also has gut-building properties as its an essential amino acid. It can assist with repairing damage in the intestinal tract (like ulcers) and permeability of the intestinal walls. You want your child’s intestinal walls strong so food allergies and leaky gut don’t occur.
*Note: You need to treat the root of diarrhea. So taking L Glutamine can provide temporary relief but need to be done in addition to treating the cause of diarrhea in the first place. Speak to your doctor or get one of our coaches to assist with this.
In the meantime, here is a brilliant article from Jini Patel Thompson on how children and babies can use L Glutamine.
Allergies and the gut have a huge link together. The gut can help regulate histamine for one, and so when the gut is imbalanced it’s hard to fight off any allergens or manage histamine.
Thankfully we have a solution for that! Histamine Block is a natural allergy supplement that we love! DAO (Diamine oxidase) is an enzyme made in the small intestine. Most people with IBD don’t make DAO or enough of it to break down histamine because of their GI tract imbalance.
An immune system malfunction is never fun. This can result in other issues as the body cant fight off infections, viruses, etc… as easily. And with an autoimmune condition like IBD the immune system is attacking parts of the body (like the GI tract) as it’s malfunctioning.
Strengthening the immune system and supporting it can help get things back on track!
These Curcum-Evail® Chewables are amazing they are a highly bioavailable curcumin formulation for superior absorption. They are flavored in mango and are very easy to give to children. Curcumin can be hard to absorb so these chewables overcome the issues that make it hard for the body to absorb.
In this section, we provide you with simple takeaway tips and a quick reference guide from us so that you can implement this in your daily health regimen!
*A quick tip: As part of our program with CCLifestyle, we also select the right probiotic for your child/baby based on symptoms from the absolute best probiotic company Natren. If you are unfamiliar with Natren take a quick peek at what they have to say when it comes to children and probiotics and refer to our info above.
The use of the correct probiotics can also help alleviate Herx symptoms and help you bounce back faster!
