A Hospital Visit...

I usually don't like to let so much time go by in between posting, but I have been sick again since the weekend.

I briefly mentioned in a prior post that I was feeling ill. I did have a few days where I felt better, but... Having first thought it was a stomach bug and then thinking it was stress related, I finally had to go to the hospital.

After testing, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. The preparation for the CAT scan (contrast & dyes) has caused a reaction and now my symptoms are much worse, but hopefully this will subside within a day.

The positive to this is that I am so familiar with this disease I know what to do to help myself. My son also has Crohn's and I have taken care of him during his flare ups. Diet is key and I am working on that so I can snap myself into remission and be pain and symptom free.

Bear with me, I'll be posting regular again real soon.

Health Begins in the Colon

I've mentioned in the past that my son has Crohn's Disease. For those who do not know what this is, Crohn's is a chronic, episodic, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the entire wall of the bowel or intestines.

He had experienced remission for 7 years until a flare up occurred 2 years ago. He has been trying an holistic approach. Proper diet, Ridding his body of toxins ,Maintaining a slightly alkaline pH state
drinking a lot of fluids and exercise.

Colon Cleansing has become one of the most popular therapies recommended by natural health practitioners. 50% of the immune system is located in or near the digestive system, by the large intestine. If the colon is not cleansed and the toxins removed, your digestion will not process properly so the nutrients are not absorbed correctly. Symptoms of poor digestion can be: constipation, gas, bloating, IBS, headaches, bad breath, allergy symptoms, PMS, fatigue, depression, irritability, frequent infections and weight gain.

Colon Cleansing removes hardened fecal matter, toxic materials and parasites from the colon. Oxy-Powder is an Oxygen Colon Cleanser made from the production of oxygen within the digestive tract. It works slowly over a 12 to 18 hour period, which means you can carry out your daily routine without any problems.


Health truly begins with your colon. Toxins can lead or cause other health ailments. Once your colon is cleansed, you will start the healing process and nutrients can be absorbed properly. You are instantly changing the conditions in your body.

I've learned this product is top rated and safe. Some people experience weight loss when cleansing their colon due to the amount of build up of toxins (waste) in the intestinal tract.

Your Digestive Health IS Important

Do you suffer from IBS or any other digestive issue? Living with someone (my son) who suffers from Crohn's disease, I see first hand the discomfort, pain and other problems that can arise from digestive problems.

When my son is experiencing a flare up, he takes an acidophilus pill(along with a quick change in diet-see tip below),which contains a probiotic blend. These are cultures that helps better digestion and also can be found in yogurt. He can't seem to bring himself to eat yogart, so this pill is like getting the benefits of yogart without actually eating it. It really does help and he can even eat dairy when taking this product. That is huge!

Probiotics are a good kind of natural bacteria. They give your system the friendly active cultures it likes.
Prebiotics are the natural dietary fiber that helps keep those beneficial cultures happy.
The two work together to help crowd out unfriendly bacteria in your system.

I try to do my best in caring for my own digestive health. As I am getting older, my body is certainly changing. What I once could eat, now affects my stomach. You may know what I mean.

I just came across this video which explains how you can care for your own digestive health. Take a look. It may be something you want to try and see if you see a difference in the way you feel.

*TIP: I've done ALOT of research on crohn's and diet. I found that using a crock pot for cooking helps immediately. Cooking foods the traditional way doesn't break down the molecules enough for your digestive system to handle. That's why we experience bloat, cramps and diarrhea. When cooking in the crock pot for up to 9 hours, you are breaking down the molecules, so your body digests the food so much easier. That's why when cooking a roast or chicken etc, the food literally breaks apart. Think about this and you will see it is simple. Cooking meat for only about an hour (give or take) doesn't allow for the chemicals and molecules to break down. The crock pot enables this process and it really is a much healthier way to eat.
