Should you do colon cleanse if you have crohns disease?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Autoimmune Diseases, Crohns Disease [Edit categories]

Answer:

You will have to do many of them over the course of your life with Crohns Disease.
While a colon cleanse may not irritate the disease, although it could, it might be best to consult with your Doctor first. When the disease is active I would think your system would be active enough. Such as like smoking a cigarette when you already have a cough.

You may not need it with this condition because people who have it have constant diarrhea anyway and ulcers along the lining of the colon etc.. It would most likely irritate the condition further. They likely just have an inflammatory bowel disease that is chronic and I'm sure any sludge that would be up in the colon has long been pushed out by the constant diarrhea.
