Reasons for surgery are complications such as<strong> severe bleeding, intestinal perforation, inflammation<\/strong> that does not respond sufficiently to medication and the occurrence of colon cancer or precancerous lesions. The <strong>risk of colon cancer is increased in ulcerative colitis<\/strong> and in Crohn&#8217;s disease when the colon is affected. The extent of the inflammation plays an important role.\u00a0Surgery becomes necessary in patients with Crohn&#8217;s disease when complications such as<strong> bleeding, fistulas, intestinal obstructions or abscesses occur<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20fa57e obcs green e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"20fa57e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41b882b e-con-full obcs none e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"41b882b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9014bbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9014bbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What helps with IBD?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5390e50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5390e50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Herbal and alternative therapeutic approaches<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f3c053 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f3c053\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some data is available on preparations with <strong>frankincense, myrrh and camomile<\/strong>. They have an <strong>anti-inflammatory effect<\/strong>. A preparation with <strong>frankincense extract<\/strong> is said to have <strong>similar results in Crohn&#8217;s disease as mesalazine<\/strong> (which has only limited effect in Crohn&#8217;s disease). The typical complaints such as abdominal cramps, diarrhoea and joint complaints could be<strong> improved in two-thirds of the patients<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Comparable trials have been <strong>conducted in ulcerative colitis<\/strong>. Both frankincense and myrrh contain triterpenic acids, which are responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of ulcerative colitis. Myrrh also has an <strong>antispasmodic effect<\/strong>, as it reduces the vehemence of intestinal contractions and relaxes the intestinal muscles. Especially the triple combination of frankincense, myrrh and coffee charcoal has proven to be effective. The symptom-free period could be maintained just as well (as was investigated in a small study) as with mesalazine.<\/p><p>US scientists have also looked at the<strong> anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric<\/strong>. In one study, children suffering from Crohn&#8217;s disease or ulcerative colitis were given <strong>turmeric extract<\/strong> in capsules. A dose of 4 g was well tolerated by most of the children, and the symptoms of IBD were improved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a73ff75 e-con-full obcs none e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a73ff75\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa28fbc e-transform elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fa28fbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotate_3d&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_transform_rotateX_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateY_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;-4&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_perspective_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;650&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateX_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateX_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateY_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateY_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_perspective_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_perspective_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omni-biotic.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/herbal-medicine-plant-based-for-irritable-bowel.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16439\" alt=\"herbal medicine plant based for irritable bowel\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omni-biotic.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/herbal-medicine-plant-based-for-irritable-bowel.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omni-biotic.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/herbal-medicine-plant-based-for-irritable-bowel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omni-biotic.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/herbal-medicine-plant-based-for-irritable-bowel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.omni-biotic.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/herbal-medicine-plant-based-for-irritable-bowel-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62334de obcs none e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"62334de\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9936112 obcs none e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9936112\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77345d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77345d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tips for managing IBD<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b007e8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b007e8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tip 1<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8078c08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8078c08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The exact cause of IBD is not yet known.
