Crohns and antibiotics

[Guest guest]

a and the group,

If you want to find out about remedies for Crohn's disease that work

and that people can do for themselves at very little cost, check

Dave Gregg's website at

http://www.krysalis.net/crohn.htm

My father-in-law is one who has been helped by his suggestions, and

I know one of the others who wrote a testimonial on his site, and

she's for real, too. Dave gets rave testimonials frequently, and

only puts a few of them on the website. His remedies work.

Antibiotics and Crohn's Disease

Although a faulty immune system is often blamed for the disease, studies of

the role antibiotics play in treating Crohn's are starting to suggest that

the immune system may be doing exactly what it's supposed to do: fighting

infection.

Research has shown the presence of a bacterium called Mycobacterium avium ss

paratuberculosis, or M-para, in the intestines of people with Crohn's.

Treating the condition with antibiotics that target M-para has produced

encouraging results in clinical trials, with claims of long-term remission

of symptoms. Others suggest that M-para may be only one of a number of

bacteria that contribute to the disease. In either case, clinical studies

are taking the possibility of antibiotic treatments very seriously.

Traditional Antibiotic Treatments for Crohn's Disease

The viability of using antibiotics to treat the disease directly has yet to

be proven. In the meantime, antibiotics continue to be used to treat

associated bacterial overgrowths and secondary infections. Antibiotics are

also often used to treat intestinal obstructions, fistulas, abscesses and

post-surgery infections. Ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole (known

under the brand name FlagylR) are the drugs most often used, but many other

antibiotics are available. Below you'll find brief descriptions of some of

the more common Crohn's-related antibiotics.

Thanks a for that, I suffer from Crohns so found this

interesting. Guess it’s down to mycoplasmas again?

Best,

Antibiotics and Crohn's Disease

Although a faulty immune system is often blamed for the disease, studies of

the role antibiotics play in treating Crohn's are starting to suggest that

the immune system may be doing exactly what it's supposed to do: fighting

infection.

Research has shown the presence of a bacterium called Mycobacterium avium ss

paratuberculosis, or M-para, in the intestines of people with Crohn's.

Treating the condition with antibiotics that target M-para has produced

encouraging results in clinical trials, with claims of long-term remission

of symptoms. Others suggest that M-para may be only one of a number of

bacteria that contribute to the disease. In either case, clinical studies

are taking the possibility of antibiotic treatments very seriously.

Traditional Antibiotic Treatments for Crohn's Disease

The viability of using antibiotics to treat the disease directly has yet to

be proven. In the meantime, antibiotics continue to be used to treat

associated bacterial overgrowths and secondary infections. Antibiotics are

also often used to treat intestinal obstructions, fistulas, abscesses and

post-surgery infections. Ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole (known

under the brand name FlagylR) are the drugs most often used, but many other
