Andrea please tell us what worked for you. I have had problems for years, I was just diagnosed last year with Crohns, and I’ve been on Pentasa since then. It works fairly well, I haven’t had any bleeding since going on it, but I have had pain somewhat. I would love to know what you did that worked so well, I’d love to try it.

Judy: My daughter also suffered from Crohn’s for years. Asacol worked for a long time and then stopped. So she did Remicade for 18 months and that stopped working so her doctor tried Humera. Waste of time. She just got sicker and sicker, could no longer work or have a”normal life”. She also had surgery at Cedar Sinai last year. Her surgeon gave her life back. So much of her colon was destroyed that she needed a colostomy bag. She is well and happy. Life back to normal as promised by her surgeon. Wonder if your daughter and mine had same surgeon???? Dr F——er?

Betty,

Most docs DO check for parasites before diagnosing someone with inflammatory bowel disease. It never ceases to amaze me how some people want to blame every digestive disease on parasites.

Andrea,

Please…tell us what worked for you. I’m very interested in finding out.

Andrea, I responded but “they” said I had “already said that”. This is my first time on this site, so I’m interested in anything that isn’t a gimmick. Please say what worked for you .

Andrea, why didn’t you say what helped you rather than list what all Crohn’s sufferers have already lived through? We need help not come-ons.

I have suffered from crohns disease from the time I was 16 to 29. I have had colonoscopies, barium enemas and proctoscopes. I was also on sulpha drugs which gave me headaches. Western medicine and understaning of how the body operates did not help me. I went into remission for 16 years after the birth of my first child. A few months ago my crohns returned. I have sought altenative treatment and have quickly returned back to good health. If you are intersted in the methods that worked for me, kindly respond to this message

my daughter suffered for years from this disease. The solution (after 8 years and countless medications and doctors) was the J-pouch surgery. Her disease was mostly contained to the large intestine, (bowel) and this was completly removed! A “pouch” was made out of her intestine, and is COMPLETLY inside the body, unlike a colostomy bag. This surgerey was done at Cedar-Sinai in Los Angeles and absolutly changed and saved her life. I do not understand why more people are not made aware of this.

why dont they check for parasites in the digestive tract.that is what causes Chrons disease,like most diseases,parasites is the most common cause, but no one wants to believe that,especially all these SMART DRs out there
