About this blog

This blog examines current ideas on alternative treatments for Crohn's disease. Although the medical community will tell you that diet doesn't matter, or that alternative treatments are worthless for treating Crohn's disease, this is only because there hasn't been as much double blind clinical testing for most alternative treatments. Therefore they cannot with certainty offer them to you. But, the truth is, many treatments can have an effect on Crohn's disease, or at least improve your general health. We attempt to examine them here.

Investigation into Management of Angioedema caused by Intestinal Bacteria

This article shows the drug control flowchart that should occur for people with chronic angioedema. It says to start out with a long acting antihistamine like claritin and then add a secondary one like hydroxyzine if that is not enough.

It also talks about how chronic angioedema can be related to bacterial and parasitic infections and that it is more common in women than men.

An article about angioedema has this statement, "Helicobacter pylori, a type of bacteria found in the stomach, can trigger abdominal attacks. Antibiotics to treat the bacteria help decrease abdominal attacks."

An article about histamine intolerance talks about how gut dysbiosis and having too many of the wrong kinds of bacteria can cause angioedema.
