How long do you need to take LDN for Crohns

Is anybody still trying LDN? It was a red hot topic here about 5 or 6 years ago, but the LDN river seems to have slowed to a trickle in recent years. I assumed the LDN dream was over - another fad cure that came and went.
 
I've just ordered some. I'm curious about it, and it can't hurt. From what I've gathered from watching interviews, you don't have to take it forever. Only until you have reached remission that feels pretty stable. I would stop taking it if I had been in remission for 2 years straight, for example.
 
I take LDN and have for over 10 years consistently unless I think it’s not working as well and then I take a day or two off. It’s important it’s compounded correctly. I changed pharmacies once and I started having a flare…switched to another pharmacy and problem solved.

LDN was a godsend for me. It drastically changed my life!
