Understanding the root cause
Crohn’s is a type of autoimmune disease affecting the upper part of the GI track. This disease may cause inflammation in the small intestines, leading to ulcer formation and even bloody stools.
The symptoms of Crohn’s disease can be mild or severe, which can develop suddenly or gradually. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea (or constipation), appetite loss, bloody stool, food sensitivities, fatigue, and fever.
Crohn’s disease can be crippling and even leave people loosing excessive weight, if not treated. The traditional approach is to manage Crohn’s with steroids or biologics alone; however, at CLP, we work on a rather holistic healing protocol. Our functional medicine approach allows clients to get ot the root cause of autoimmunity and helps treat the same.
The root cause for Crohn’s could be many things, including heavy metal toxicity, childhood trauma, leaky gut, environmental exposure to hormone disrupters, bad lifestyle or eating habits etc.
Hyperpalatable Foods
those loaded with excess sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats — can disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome. They trigger chronic inflammation, weaken the intestinal lining, and make the gut barrier more permeable. Over time, this “leakiness” allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream, setting the stage for digestive issues, autoimmune reactions, and widespread inflammation.
Chronic Alcohol Or Antibiotic Use
Long-term alcohol use weakens the gut barrier, allowing toxins and pathogens to leak into the bloodstream, fueling inflammation and gut-related diseases.
Frequent antibiotic use wipes out healthy gut bacteria along with harmful ones, disrupting the microbiome balance.
Chronic inflammatory conditions, such as Celiac disorder and IBD
A lot of people struggling from celiac disorder or gluten sensitivity are not even aware of the same. IBDs, on the other hand, such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s, are auto-immune driven and fueled by chronic inflammation.
Chemotheraphy & Radiation Theraphies
While useful, chemotherapy can be a reason for deteriorating intestinal mucosa. Not only does this lead to indigestion, irritable and uncontrolled bowel movement, but also a leaky gut. It is strongly suggested to rebuild healthy gut microbiome post chemotherapy sessions.
IS THIS PROGRAM FOR ME?
Gut Dysbiosis management requires a holistic approach, with a team of experts to guide you towards your recovery journey. Here are a few treatment modalities we integrate.
TAKE BACK CONTROL
Ozone therapy offers powerful support for those struggling with Crohn’s Disease. It helps control gut inflammation, repair the intestinal lining, and restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria by eliminating harmful pathogens.
By boosting digestion, enhancing nutrient absorption, and strengthening the immune system, ozone therapy promotes deeper gut healing from the inside out. Its strong antioxidant properties also protect gut cells from damage, speeding up recovery and resilience.
Dehydration slows digestion, builds up toxins, and weakens your gut. Our patented IV formulas with essential nutrients like L-Glutamine are scientifically proven to help fix your gut lining — instantly boosting recovery and energy levels.
If you’ve recently battled food poisoning, a stomach virus, or allergies, your gut is likely running low on essential nutrients. Our customized IV drips help restore hydration, fight inflammation, and speed up gut healing, with far better absorption than oral supplemen
ACCELERATE HEALING
SUSTAINABLE CHANGES
What you eat — and when you eat — can make a big difference when healing from Crohn’s Disease. Our coaches help you nourish your gut with foods rich in sulforaphane, zinc, polyphenols, and vitamins A and D. These nutrients help repair intestinal health.
Lifestyle tweaks matter too. Regular exercise, meditation, and quality sleep (7–9 hours) protect your gut by lowering stress and supporting your gut-brain axis. Simple lifestyle tweaks suggested by our team and weekly follow-ups will help you stay disciplined.
Small changes. Big healing.
A psychologist can help with leaky gut syndrome by identifying the physiological factors that cause digestive complications and ruin overall health. Our team adops various technique’s such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and gut-targeted hypnotherapy to help clients
Past trauma, depression, and anxiety can further be a cause for leaky gut. Having a psychologist on board for weekly sessions is not only suggested but necessary.
We will build you the winning team.
PRIORITIZE MENTAL HEALTH
Inflammation is the root- cause for most gut disorders. Inflammation is like an injury to the internal gut lining, causing more acid reflux.
With anti-inflammatory effects, ozone therapy can control inflammation in the esophagus caused due to acid reflux. Besides, Ozone therapy can help in modulating gut flora, calming acid-triggering dysbiosis.
As we are even reading this, your gut is repopulating and producing new gut microbiome. Of these, opportunistic, or bad bacteria, lead to more reflex symptoms.
Ozone’s rectal insufflation may help in eradicating hazardous microbes and maintaining gut bacteria’s healthy balance.
Your gut is fueled with nutritients supplied by your blood vessels. Sluggish metabolism is when you don’t have enough nutrients delivered to your organs.
Ozone therapy may boost the abdominal muscles blood circulation, which can improve digestion and digestive disorders.
One of the root causes of excess acid is Helicobacter pylori infection. Ozone has antimicrobial properties and may help reduce this bacterial load, decreasing acid-triggering inflammation.
Paradoxically, small doses of ozone create a “hormetic” response, stimulating your body’s own antioxidant defenses.
People with Crohn’s Disease often have impaired nutrient absorption due to chronic acid suppression (like long-term use of PPIs).
IV nutrition delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the irritated digestive tract.
Amino acids, administered via IV, like L-glutamine, and micronutrients like vitamin A and zinc, help rebuild the esophageal lining damaged by acid exposure.
Nutrients like:
Vitamin C
Glutathione
Alpha-lipoic acid
Given through IV can reduce systemic and gut inflammation, which may lower the frequency and intensity of reflux episodes
Frequent reflux can drain energy and lower quality of life. IV drips rich in B-complex vitamins, CoQ10, and magnesium help support mitochondrial function and reduce fatigue
We emphasise Nutritional and Lifestyle modification. Besides this, regular follow-ups help our doctor to monitor changes in your health condition, detect early gut damage signs, and evaluate the efficiency of the current treatment plan. Gut management tends to require changing medicines and therapies over time. Follow-ups help the doctor modify the treatment plan.
Crohn’s Disease isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” condition. Different symptoms can develop differently in people, which requires personalization.. Personalization involves customizing the treatment approach suited to precise requirements. As treatment is personalized to unique requirements and preferences, patients’ outcome is assured and targeted.
Don’t just take our word for it. Watch our patients share their gut health journey with Clinic Living Plus.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, though the small intestine and the junction between the small and large intestine are most commonly involved. Unlike ulcerative colitis, which is confined to the colon, Crohn’s inflammation penetrates through the full thickness of the gut wall, which is why complications like fistulas, abscesses, and strictures are more common.
Persistent diarrhoea, cramping abdominal pain, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and rectal bleeding are the most frequent symptoms. Many patients also experience joint pain, mouth ulcers, skin lesions, and eye inflammation, reflecting the systemic immune involvement. Symptoms cycle between active flares and periods of remission, which often leads to years passing before a correct diagnosis is made.
Intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn’s disease present almost identically on colonoscopy, imaging, and biopsy. In a country where TB remains endemic, Crohn’s is routinely assumed to be TB first. Studies show that 43% of Crohn’s patients in India received anti-tuberculosis therapy before getting the correct diagnosis. This delay worsens long-term outcomes and increases the risk of surgical complications significantly
The precise cause remains under investigation, but the current understanding points to a combination of genetic susceptibility, an overactive immune response, gut microbiome dysbiosis, and environmental triggers. Dietary patterns, early antibiotic exposure, reduced microbial diversity, and increased intestinal permeability all play a role in triggering and sustaining the inflammatory response. The rising incidence in India tracks closely with urbanisation and dietary westernisation.
There is no pharmaceutical cure. Conventional treatment uses corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologics to induce and maintain remission. These manage the inflammation but do not address the underlying immune and microbiome dysfunction driving it. A functional medicine approach works alongside medical treatment to reduce the frequency and severity of flares by targeting those root causes directly.
Diagnosis requires colonoscopy with biopsy, small bowel imaging, and blood and stool markers including CRP, faecal calprotectin, and full blood count. In India, ruling out intestinal TB is a mandatory part of the workup. Functional assessment additionally examines gut microbiome composition, intestinal permeability, nutritional deficiencies, and dietary patterns that influence disease activity.
Crohn’s significantly impairs nutrient absorption, particularly in the small intestine. Deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, zinc, folate, and magnesium are common and worsen fatigue, immune function, and overall disease activity. Addressing these is a core part of managing the condition, not an afterthought.
