There are natural ways to treat gut disease and inflammation in the bowel, but it can be helpful to think about what you mean by natural treatment. One way may be through diet. Another is getting enough sleep and exercise. A third may be supplements that are complementary to your treatments, but the key word is complementary. Many of these natural treatments can make you feel better, which is what doctors try to do. But on their own, natural treatments are typically not enough to heal the inflammation in the bowel or gut disease.
