Natural Notes to Coping With Inflammatory Bowel Disorder

Confused about IBS, IBD, UC, and Crohn's?

It is easy to hear the terms used interchangeably and inaccurately.

Below is a quick summary of the salient differences between these health conditions.

Diagnosis should be made by a healthcare practitioner—typically a gastroenterologist. Irritable bowel syndrome, a completely unrelated and less serious condition, was sometimes called mucous colitis in the past. As a result, the general term “colitis“ is still sometimes used inappropriately to refer to irritable bowel syndrome. It is critical that people who are diagnosed with “colitis” find out whether they have irritable bowel syndrome or UC.

The cookbook includes instructions on how to modify any recipes that are not already for Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) needs.

The SCD is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

The diet goes beyond the standard theory of gluten-intolerance being the sole culprit for pathology in the bowel.

All 180 recipes are very easily adaptable to satisfy the special requirements of a Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is often confused with IBD, but IBS is a distinctly separate, non-inflammatory disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to chronic disorders of the small and/or large intestine characterized by inflammatory changes in the intestinal tissue. The two major types of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Crohn’s disease usually affects the small intestine but may extend into the large intestine as well. Ulcerative colitis occurs only in the large intestine. The function of the small intestine differs from that of the large intestine; therefore, while the health consequences and treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis may be similar, there are important differences as well. Crohn’s disease is a poorly understood inflammatory condition that usually affects the final part of the small intestine and the beginning section of the colon. It often causes bloody stools and malabsorption problems.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon, which is relatively common but remains poorly understood.
