As with all diseases, it is as individual as the person. From Langley's observations the condition of Crohn's often stems from the stomach. The stomach rules the lower functions of the bowel. In cases of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis, low gastric activity is often indicated and confirmed by medical tests. A healthy stomach is a healthy bowel.
Factors affecting low stomach acid production are principally diet and old age.
The mucosa of the stomach needs to be healed and regenerated. Herbs such as Licorice are offered. Apple cider vinegar is also useful in the correction of the bowel pH and is known also to aid the liver functions. Life style changes are very much part of the remedial picture. Moderate exercise is encouraged to stimulate the lymphatics in addition to skin brushing.
