Dietary restrictions

Chron's Disease is an intestinal disease that causes the bowels to become beefy and inflamed which in turn creates narrowing of the intestinal tract (Sobczak, 2019). This causes excessive abdominal pain along with the inability to effectively and comfortably pass stool. Typically, a person experiences right sided abdominal pain. Then if a person is able to pass stool it is typically liquid over an extended period of time which can then result in potential weight loss (Sobczak, 2019). A person who continuously has diarrhea and abdominal pain would less consistently eat or eat smaller meals that may not provide the necessary nutritional intake a normal person may need. A fairly new study completed evaluated that there is potential short-term relief for a person to have a transnasal ileus tube inserted in the intestinal tract to help stretch the intestines and create more consistency with bowel movements and relief to some of the abdominal pain (Zuo et al., 2022). By providing this ileus tube, it may not chronically provide relief to a person, but will help acutely prevent future flare ups. Without this treatment, the risk of an ileus is possible. An ileus is a blockage of part of the intestine which a person could potentially need gastric decompression with a nasogastric tube or stool softeners to help a person have the bowel movement resolving the ileus (Davidson et al., 2016). While a person may think that an ileus is a better alternative to diarrhea, there is abdominal pain, nausea, and even diarrhea as potential side effects of the ileus. To prevent these potential complications of chron's disease, a person may need to adhere to a particular diet to prevent complications from arising due to the disease.
