    Remicade anti-TNF therapy has not yielded expected declines in hospitalisation and intestinal resection rates in inflammatory bowel diseases

    Kiny, do you think those who take immunosuppressants long term still have the opportunity to benefit from fecal stream diversion or is the damage already done? I know Qu Biologics sees the best result in those who have not taken biologics.

    Remicade anti-TNF therapy has not yielded expected declines in hospitalisation and intestinal resection rates in inflammatory bowel diseases

    Which would explain why many on juicing diets do well as well. Many have reported improvement with paleo and SCD diets. Do you think there could be something in that fecal stream from western diets that may be the underlying cause? And those diets either don't negatively affect something with...

    Remicade anti-TNF therapy has not yielded expected declines in hospitalisation and intestinal resection rates in inflammatory bowel diseases

    I'm so pleased to see you back @kiny -- your knowledge has obviously improved dramatically. I was going to ask if your statement of, "Removing the fecal stream or limiting it of course helps and lowers inflammation" is why so many do well with enteral nutrition but you shared that two posts...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I'd be interested in the same Isaac. However, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody reports that it did NOTHING as, if you have a positive experience with marijuana, it is going to make you feel better for some duration even if it doesn't affect the state of your disease at all.
