I grew up like any other normal teenager. I enjoyed going to pizza parties, eating out at fast food restaurants, eating cake and cookies, and having spaghetti dinners at my grandmother’s house. When I was 14 years old my father deployed to Kuwait with the military. I felt stressed, upset and worried all the time because my father, my best friend, was gone and knowing he wouldn’t be around made me physically sick. I would eat, and immediately after eating, I would start to have physical and medical problems.…
Gluten makes these foods stick together; it gives them substance and helps them to maintain their shape (Celiac Disease Foundation). Those with Celiac disease have immune systems that create antibodies to attack this gluten protein. As a result, the intestines are inflamed and the villi that line the intestines are damaged. Villi are very important to absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract. This includes fats,…
Ulcers are common in the gastrointestinal tract. The mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is affected by ulcers, and the mucosal layer also becomes thick.1 Also, the mesentery is fibrous and red. Therefore, the inside of the intestine decreases in circumference. A severe pathological process in Crohn’s disease is the development of fistulas. This is when parts of the intestine become stuck together via fibrotic connections.1 Fistulas can become severe and even require surgery to treat them.…
Crohn’s Disease is a condition where there is inflammation in the gut…
Celiac Disease is a digestive, immune system issue portrayed by prejudice to gluten, a protein found in wheat items and different nourishments. At the point when gluten is ingested, the insusceptible framework shapes antibodies that tie to parts of the little's villi digestive system, bringing about irritation, harm to the digestive tract and lack of healthy sustenance. Celiac malady is genuinely regular and can likewise be known as celiac sprue or gluten-delicate enteropathy. One in 133 Americans has the issue and needs to take after a sans gluten diet. Gluten is a type of protein found in a few grains.…
Introduction: UC is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) that involves the large intestine and is a major disorder under the broad group of conditions termed inflammatory bowel disease, which also includes Crohn’s disease (CD). Dr. Samuel Wilks was the first to distinguish Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in 1859 when he described on “idiopathic colitis” and it has distinct features from the most common bacillary dysentery [1]. In that year, Sir Arthur Hurst wrote a complete description of Ulcerative Colitis which includes its sigmoidoscopy manifestations and distinction from bacillary dysentery [2].Ulcerative colitis is treating conventionally with 5-aminosalicylic acid (ASA), corticosteroids and oral immunosuppressant…
The bacteria then grows and eventually invade the cells in the intestines that causes inflammation and occurrence of the disease [15]. The second known gene that can contribute to Crohn’s disease is the DLG5 that is located on chromosome 10 known as “chromosome 10 open reading frame 2” C10orf2 is its symbol [16]. This gene is responsible to give instructions to…
Digestive System Crohn's Disease Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is made up of two conditions: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn’s disease is an acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It mainly affects the terminal ileum, which is located at the very end of the small intestine, but also can affect the proximal colon, which is located at the beginning of the large intestine. The entire gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to anus are involved with this disease. “The disease occurs frequently among children, adolescents, and young adults, but is increasing in people over the age of 60.…
Numerous studies have been done on the causes and effects of Ulcerative Colitis in the body that ultimately begin and progress through the large intestine. These studies have led to information that allows physicians to help their patients control the symptoms of this disease and enable them to lead a normal life. However, through the research that has been done no significant information has led to the cure of this disease or what truly causes it in the first place. The cause for this disease must be determined to allow prevention and there must be research leading to the cure of this disease; not only treatment to reduce the symptoms and manage the disease. This paper will examine the research done on Ulcerative Colitis to determine the steps…
1. Do all plants contain gluten? Make a list of plants that contain gluten. (1 pt) Not all plants contain gluten, but some plants like wheat, rye, and barley are packed with the protein, gluten.…
The immune system is a pattern of automatic defense mechanism by the body to defend itself against pathogenic micro organisms. The immune system works with the help of antibodies that engulf pathogens of foreign cells within the body. This can cause wounds on the inner walls of the intestine causing inflammation. The wounds in the small intestine may spread with time due to actions of digestive enzymes and acids in the digestive tract. This can lead to permanent and persistent damage to the small intestines causing Krohn's disease (Klein, Griga, Folwaczny & Epplen,…
There are many autoimmune diseases that are attacking many healthy cells including Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Vitiligo, Crohn’s Disease, Multiple sclerosis, and much more. Crohn’s Disease is similar to inflammatory bowel movement because of various signs and symptoms such as fatigue, diarrhea, fever, blood in your stool, abdominal pain and cramping, and much more (Mayo Clinic, 2017, August 7). The symptoms can escalate from mild to severe and many patients may have to undergo surgery. This is an autoimmune disease because everyone is entitled to how their body would react due to their immune system. According to MayoClinic (2017), some major predisposing factors for this disease are age, hereditary, environment, family history, and more to be continued.…
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract or GI tract. The most common portion affected is the terminal portion of the ileum, or the first part of the large intestines. That is why another name for this disease is called ileitis or enteritis. According to Nordqvist “Approximately one fifth of all people with Crohn’s disease have a close relative with some type of inflammatory bowel disease. People of Jewish descent have a higher chance of developing Crohn’s disease.”…
Illnesses and diseases are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society. The list keeps growing: heart disease, alzheimer's, appendicitis, celiac disease, depression, obesity, hypertension, and so much more. Society has realized this problem and has been searching for solutions for over fifty years now. The paleo diet is has shown evidence to prevent some of today’s disorders and diseases.…
Gluten is a product found in wheat, rye and many grains. It is what helps bread have the chewy texture and the strength to stay in one piece. Gluten is very common in many foods, but for some people eating gluten can cause a sensitive stomach, making it hard for these nutrients to be absorbed the right way. A gluten free diet is for the people who do not have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that can occur when the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine, but want to flush out their immune system. The diet consists of taking the same precautions as a person with celiac would except for the fact that the person doing the diet will not experience symptoms as severe (Nagle 2015).…
