Colon Comfort Formula

These herbs combine to help tone and soothe an afflicted colon with colitis, Crohn's Disease or Irritable Bowel. Because of its high mucilage content (a smooth, slippery substance), marshmallow root is soothing and healing to inflamed mucous membranes. Wild yam is known to reduce gastrointestinal upset and nerve pain, and is also considered to be a strong antispasmodic and is potentially anti-inflammatory. Ginger has traditionally been recommended in Chinese medicine for abdominal bloating, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea. Cayenne is helpful for various conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, including stomachaches, cramping pains, and gas.

Common symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome include bloating, abdominal discomfort, gas, and alternating diarrhea and constipation although patients are likely to also have backaches, fatigue, and other seemingly unrelated problems. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease characterized by bloody diarrhea and an inflamed colon. Conventional treatments for UC, although often essential in emergency circumstances, often offer only partial solutions and/or may be accompanied by significant side effects. Although the association between UC and diet remains unclear, eating more produce and cutting back on sugar, meat, and dairy fat is beneficial for overall health. Crohn’s disease is a poorly understood inflammatory disease that affects the final part of the small intestine and the beginning section of the colon and often leads to malnutrition. As with many other health conditions, it may be beneficial to eat less meat and dairy fat and more fruits and vegetables. Many doctors suggest eliminating all sugar (including soft drinks and processed foods with added sugar) from the diets of those with Crohn’s.
