I had a meeting with the Physician's Assistant today, it went well and she put my mind at ease about some things. Just basically by broadening the communication gap. I do use a Naturopath Dr to help with my diet and vitamins, just wanted the ear of the Medical Doctor to make sure what I was...

Met with the Physician's Assistant today and it went really well. Feeling a lot better about my direction.

Just a NOTE: OBVIOUSLY I am not a doctor, nor do I pretend to be one in any such way. So, by all means, check with your doctor!!! :)

I just came from the GI doctor because last week I had a flare up. I went to my family doc and they even did an x-ray to show that I was just really full of "it." My GI doc immediately put me back on Pentasa and for the first time threw Prednisone into the mix, and my family doc put me on...

Thanks! I have an appoint with the Physician's Assistant tomorrow, will see what kind of vibe I get with that and go from there. Again, thanks for the support!

I just googled Cat's Claw and see that it is tied in there too with Tumeric. I have been adding this ingredient to everything, so now all my foods are yellow. :) But it makes sense! I researched a lot of different diets and what I found in common with the ones that "made sense" to me were...

Thanks for sharing, I greatly appreciate the passion and journey you are on. I will look into the Cat's Claw. I hope it continues to work for you and that you are able to share your research with others, as maybe the combo is what is working....to me it sounds like a lot of positive attitude...

Thank you effdee. I am trying not to be irrational in doc dumping. :) Just not sure if I am supposed to add an Internist into the mix or what, y'know? But if this is a lifelong disease I have to live with I would like to have a doctor that wants to educate me and support me...not just...

I am new to Crohn's and had my first major flare up this week and am searching for answers to my questions and to just know I am on a "correct" track for living with it, based on a holistic approach. I don't have a lot of faith in my GI Doc, he told me about the Crohn's by leaving me a message...

I have found Almond Milk to be my favorite "to drink" milk. And I was really surprised to learn that Skim Milk has a higher content of Lactose then 2%. There are creative alternatives out there, currently I am experimenting with goat cheese. I read several places some interesting info on it...

I found the same thing happened when I went gluten free, but it turned around when I continued to add more fruit, vegetables and whole grain. Plus, I really felt a change when I began eliminating sugar/fructose... Honestly though, the more fruit, veggies and whole grain was the significant...

I have been following the Maker's Diet and it is pretty cool. I looked at a lot of different diets in an attempt to be gluten and casein free. There is a lot of overlap with the Macrobiotic, but not as severe (ie: Macro says "no" to eggplant and eggs, Maker's promotes all of them). Also...
