Supplements Which Greatly Improve Crohn's Disease

2. Probiotics

Probiotics are the “good” bacteria present in the gut. They work by supporting digestive health and boosting the immune system. Approximately 70 percent of the immune system resides in the gut. So when the gut is healthy, the rest of the body will be as well. Probiotics are naturally found in fermented foods. They can also be taken in supplement form. The dosage depends on the seriousness of the disease. Some supplements contain as many as 50 billion cultures per capsule. Most people will experience improvement in their symptoms with as little as one billion.

1. Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids work by reducing inflammation, which can help stop abdominal pain associated with Crohn’s disease. They are found naturally in plant-based sources such as flaxseed and chia seeds. You can also get a healthy dose of omega 3 fatty acids by using flaxseed oil in place of other oils.
