Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease caused by the inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
The exact cause of Crohn's disease is not identified. However, some researchers suggested that people with the compromised immune system and genetic preposition are prone to the disease onset compared to people who do not
Most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition.
If you are experiencing symptoms of severe abdominal pain accompanied by blood in the stool and persistent diarrhea, please check with your doctor right the way.
Risk factors of Crohn's disease include aging, family and person history, ethnicity, smoking and long-term use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
.
Out of many risk factors that cause the onset of the condition, some researchers suggested that your risk of Crohn's disease is depending on where you live.
Dr. Pascal Michel wrote, "Crohn's disease (CD) is clinically expressed as a chronic affection of the gastrointestinal tract currently known to have a multifactorial etiology involving a complex pathophysiological host response modulated by genetic susceptibilities, demographic determinants, and environmental factors. With more than 20 cases per 100,000 person-years, the province of Quebec, Canada is among regions of the world with the highest reported occurrence of CD in relation to other places where comparable estimates are available".
And, "These findings suggest that known populational and regional factors derived through census information only explain a limited fraction of the geographical variation of CD incidence and lead to speculate that the effects of these factors may be incompletely captured (imperfect construction of proxy variables) or that other important factors remain unmeasured".
The review study includes the search in electronic databases (ProQuest Medical Library, CINAHL Complete, and PUBMED) to locate and identify articles to meet a predetermined set of inclusion criteria, including articles published after 2007 in human participants 18 years or older.
Dr. Cunha Neto F, after taking into account of co and confounders wrote, "The use of curcumin is cheap, efficient and associated with no side effects, and may become an alternative to the IBD treatment".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), researchers at the Grand Valley State University compared the effects of Remicade to curcumin for the treatment of the condition.
Compared to Remicade in reducing TNF-a, the protein associated with inflammation in adults with CD, curcumin induced a 55 points mean reduction in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index, reduced the expression of IL-1 and levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), associated with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the colon, particularly in the reduced levels of TNF-a and PPMTase involved in the improvement of colorectal cancer outcomes.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "...Preliminary data would suggest using both would reduce LOR. Curcumin, even by itself, was found to be a cheap and safe way to reduce CD symptoms and inflammatory markers"
Furthermore, according to the study conducted by the Medical School of MarĂlia in the search for articles associating curcuminoids and CD and UC on the database of MEDLINE-PubMed, curcumin demonstrated an intestinal protective effect on reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting the migration of neutrophils and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the intestine.
Moreover, curcumin also improved micro and macroscopic lesions in the gut, prevented apoptosis of intestinal cells and induced the restoration of immune reaction.
Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
