    Immune system boost

    Very interesting. I have the feeling that Western doctors do not understand this disease well. All focus is on relieving the symptoms and not the root cause.. This will take too long before we got the "cure". For this reason I support all alternative studies like MAP.. There should be a reason...

    Whole Food Plant Based diet (WFPD) - with a one-month diary template for sharing your results

    1 year, doctors forced me to go with low fiber diet. For 5 month, I switched to fruit en vegatables, high fiber. Everything is way better.. so whole plant food diet is the way to go for me. Ofcourse, it’s never 100%. I still eat some meat fish poultry 1x week.

    Do you think garlic/onion powder in moderation is okay?

    Do not forget: onion and garlic are one of the strongest prebiotics. Do not avoid it if you can tolerate it. I have read a lot of studies that fructans(in onions/garlic) can prolong remission time in crohn patients.

    Do you think garlic/onion powder in moderation is okay?

    I eat onions every day (mostly cooked), but garlic i can not tolerate. Powder gave me same effect but it’s way less and easier to digest.

    Humira and Covid-19 risk and vaccine

    I will refuse coronavaccine next month. My GI advised not to take this vaccin. There are no clinical tests on people with immunosuppresants. Also; I’m hospitalized due to flu vaccine 5 months ago. Crohn got worse after vaccination. So I will never take flu or covid vaccin (again))
