Crohn’s Disease is characterised by chronic inflammation, particularly in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This disease can result in severe fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhea and even malnutrition.
Crohn’s Disease is different to other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) like ulcerative colitis because it affects the GI tract. The disease affects as many as 700,000 Westerners, young adults, and children aged 18-3 can be the most susceptible. However, both men and women are equally likely to be affected.
Doctors also believe that other factors have to be taken into account. This includes factors such as genetics – making the condition hereditary in most cases. It can also cause malfunctioning of the immune system and this can play a role in the development of the disease.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Some of the most common signs of Crohn’s Disease include:
- Diarrhea, along with intense intestinal cramping
- Low-grade fever due to inflammation or infection along with low levels of energy can have a major impact
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- The development of mouth ulcers
- Blood mixed with stools or spotting within the toilet bowl due to fecal-occult bleeding. Inflammation in the anus can also cause pain or drainage from the tunnel.
- Inability to digest and absorb food efficiently as a result of an inflammatory reaction within the wall of the bowel
There is no known cure yet for Crohn’s Disease. However, therapies can help alleviate its symptoms. Therapies can bring about long-term remission and the capacity for the gut to function well.

I would like to know if Serrapeptase is safe to take if you have had hernia surgery. I have heard that it will dissolve tissue that is needed to keep the mesh in place.
Hello Linda, if there is scar tissue holding the mesh in place, then there is the possibility that serrapeptase will work on this scar tissue. So we have to advise some caution in this situation.

Hi, does serrapeptase helps on healing ulcers and scars int he colon?
Hi Berta, Yes, it can potentially help but you may need to control the flare-ups as well. Serranol® is a good choice as the curcumin is also healing to the gut inflammation. If you need anymore guidance you can contact the coaches on admin@mygoodhealthclub.com

What dose should somebody with Crohn’s disease take for scarring and inflammation?
Hello Cody, we can’t give specific advice based on limited information but many people start on 1 per day of the 250,000IU with IBD and then work up as needed. But always consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting any new nutritional supplements.
If your child has IBD, and possibly an over growth of bacteria, is it safe to take Serrapeptase since it is a bacteria?
Hello Ashley, Serrapeptase is an enzyme fermented from a bacteria so it doesn’t impact bacteria in the gut, but always check with a healthcare professional before starting your child on any nutritional supplements.
