HERBAL REMEDIES FOR ILEITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE ILEUM)

ABOUT ILEITIS

'Ileitis' is a term used for describing a relatively rare condition which is marked by chronic inflammation of the 'ileum' --- the longest, narrowest and lowest (last/terminal) portion of the small intestine. Though the ileum is generally the intestinal portion which gets inflamed in Ileitis, the condition may involve more than one sections of the intestine, including the colon, which is the main portion of the large intestine.

The word 'Ileitis' is a combination of two words -- Latin word 'ileum' meaning 'intestine,' and the Greek word 'itis' meaning 'inflammation' -- which together mean 'intestine inflammation.' Ileitis is caused by the Lawsonia intracellularis bacterium.

Ileitis is typically a chronic and acute condition. In other words, the condition mostly lasts over a long period of time (during which attacks keep occurring); and can be quite severe. However, when Ileitis attacks occur initially, these attacks are 'sudden' and are often confused with appendicitis.

Ileitis commonly affects individuals aged between 20 and 50 years; with men and women being at equal risk of developing the condition.

Ileitis is a type of Crohn's disease -- a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract lining -- which affects the ileum. Although Crohn's disease is one of the most common causative factors of Ileitis, the condition is also potentially associated with some other diseases, including spondyloarthropathies, vasculitides, infectious diseases, ischemia, neoplasms, medication-induced, and eosinophilic enteritis, among others.

SYMPTOMS OF ILEITIS

The symptoms of Ileitis are extremely variable. Nonetheless, some of the common symptoms linked to the condition are:

• Painful abdominal cramps
• Sharp pain in the lower right part of the abdomen
• Chronic /intermittent diarrhoea (sometimes bloody stools)
• Swelling of the stomach
• Weakness
• Weight loss
• Anaemia (low amount of haemoglobin in the blood)
• Fever
• Poor appetite
• Constipation
• Formation of inflammatory abscesses (or fistulas) in the lower right part of the abdomen.

TREATMENT OF ILEITIS

There is, as of now, no specific treatment for Ileitis. In some cases, individuals who experience the first sudden attack of Ileitis may not require any treatment because the condition goes by itself. In such cases, the affected individuals can recover fully from the condition.

But, since Ileitis is usually a 'chronic' condition, most of the people affected by it keep experiencing attacks over the long term. In these cases, the treatment is chiefly aimed at relieving the symptoms of Ileitis and reducing inflammation of the intestine. Mostly, medications are prescribed for fighting the Lawsonia intracellularis bacteria which causes the infection. In the severest cases of Ileitis, doctors may carry out a surgery to remove the damaged area of the ileum. However, it must be noted that Ileitis may not get cured completely even after surgery.
