NuVue Observational Paper - Chrohn's and Colitis

Connective Tissue Disorders, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and the Deep Lymphatic System

A Clinical Paper by Abby Mortimer

For years, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have been discussed through the lens of genetics, immune dysfunction, microbiome health and medication management.

Yet during clinical practice, I continued to observe a pattern.

Women presenting with connective tissue disorders, hypermobility, chronic inflammation and digestive dysfunction were often presenting with remarkably similar physiological characteristics.

Many had a history of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or significant gastrointestinal symptoms.

Many demonstrated nervous system dysregulation.

Many demonstrated signs of deep lymphatic congestion.

This paper explores a proposed mechanism linking connective tissue dysfunction, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, digestive dysfunction and impaired lymphatic transport.

Drawing upon current literature, physiological principles and clinical observations from the NuVue Sydney Pop-Up Clinic, this paper presents an emerging hypothesis that may help explain why these conditions so frequently coexist.

Inside this paper:

• The relationship between connective tissue disorders and inflammatory bowel disease

• The role of nervous system dysregulation in digestive dysfunction

• How connective tissue dysfunction may influence lymphatic transport

• Why deep lymphatic congestion may be overlooked

• Clinical observations from the NuVue Sydney Pop Up Clinic

• The proposed NuVue hypothesis on chronic inflammation and deep lymphatic function

This paper is intended for health professionals, therapists, researchers, students and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between connective tissue disorders, inflammatory bowel disease and the lymphatic system.
