Functional Protocol for Crohn’s Disease: Gut Repair and Inflammation Support
Functional Supplement Protocol for Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the small and large intestines. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies.
This integrative protocol focuses on:
- Repairing the intestinal barrier
- Reducing chronic inflammation
- Modulating gut microbiota
Before starting any supplement routine, we strongly recommend consulting your primary care physician.
