How to tell the difference between Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis?
Both are known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In Crohn’s disease, there are healthy parts of the intestine mixed in between inflamed areas. Ulcerative colitis, on the other hand, is continuous inflammation of the colon. Ulcerative colitis only affects the inner most lining of the colon while Crohn’s disease can occur in all the layers of the bowel walls.
At Cardea, we have an innovative approach that seeks to understand the root causes of IBD, paving the way for personalized treatment plans.
If you’ve been struggling with IBD and are interested in a different strategy, consider Cardea Health. Our approach is like building a house - start by building a foundation which is a healthy lifestyle, a healthy environment and a personalized food plan. We need to return to the roots and start to cultivate a healthier “inner environment” - a strong microbiome that supports the rest of the body. Genes, food, gut microbes and disrupted immune function all contribute to IBD. We offer a paradigm shift, progressing from the meds that suppress symptoms (or a reactive immune system) to addressing the underlying cause of the problem.
