Are you suffering from Chrohn’s disease and looking for a solution to the chronic pain?
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It causes inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss. While there are various treatment options available for Crohn’s disease, including medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes, these options often come with unwanted side effects and are not always effective, and some sufferers must resort to using a life changing colostomy bag.
In recent years, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has emerged as a promising treatment option for Crohn’s disease, with fewer side effects and potentially greater efficacy.
What is LDN?
Naltrexone is a drug that has been used for many years to treat addiction to opioids and alcohol. At high doses, it blocks the effects of these substances in the brain. However, at low doses, it has been shown to have incredibly effective anti-inflammatory effects.
How does LDN work?
LDN binds to certain receptors in the body that are involved in regulating the immune system, such as the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the opioid growth factor receptor (OGFr). By binding to these receptors, LDN can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in conditions like Crohn’s disease.
LDN’s mechanisms of action have been extensively studied in both animal models and human patients. LDN has been shown to regulate the activity of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells, and to increase the production of endogenous opioids, which are natural pain-relievers and have anti-inflammatory properties. LDN has also been shown to reduce the activity of pro-inflammatory proteins in the human body which are involved in the development of Crohn’s disease.
Evidence for LDN in Crohn’s Disease
Several studies have reported positive results for LDN in the treatment of Crohn’s disease. One small study found that 67% of patients experienced a clinical response to LDN, meaning their symptoms improved. Another larger study found that LDN was associated with a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in quality of life. LDN has been shown to be effective in both active and inactive Crohn’s disease, and to have a long-lasting effect.
LDN is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. The most common side effects reported are mild, usually manifesting as headaches, nausea, and vivid dreams, which usually resolve within a few days of starting treatment. LDN does not interfere with other medications or treatments for Crohn’s disease, and can be safely used in combination with them.
