But if we cannot find a cure but we can prevent others from suffering with this condition then that is positive too I do not believe that there is a single cause - I believe there are a number of contributing factors - if we can mitigate some of the contributing factors may be we can reverse...

Eve The natureopath I went to was also convinced there was a link with mercury.. I know that since having my fillings replaced and there were many (no tooth spared). I have felt better - to me that is proof enough for this test case

I have used it to control my weight not to trigger a flare up but lets just say start loosing a pound or two.

First off good luck They will probably want to put a tube down your nose - I would highly recommend chloroseptic that throat treatment that numbs. Sprayed up the nostril and in the throat really helps. If they offer pain killers to begin with accept them with a smile don't wait until you feel...

I really hate this part of the disease - I really wish I could find a good self cleaning toilet - I know my family would appreciate it. I often wonder about the turbo toilets advertised in the handyman magazines anyone able to find some feedback?

I have been lucky 2+ years with Xifaxan (cannot spell it proper like) and Bactrin and now added cholestyramine to the list but Crohns has been absent - long may it continue - diet is pretty strict though and keep a watch on foods that I eat.

Since giving up soda/ pop + sugar the Crohns has been much quieter

If your issue is just frequency please search the site about Habba Syndrome - no harm in discussing with GI and getting an opinion

My GI has me on Xifaxan for quite a while and touch wood the Crohns has been in remission since - I also take Bactrin to prevent another infection for my eyes. I take an probiotic - Primal Defense as well, Now I take cholestyramine to slow the frequency down. If it works I am happy

I have been taking Primal defense for years and it seems to keep things in check - I notice if I stop taking it. As far as catching every bug around - I would look at changing your diet. For me (and everyone is different) I quite soda and dramatically reduced my sugar and wheat intake. As a...

Reduces my frequency. The non scientific answer is that it binds with bile salts to reduce the big D. Habba syndrome is also linked

It has been suggested to me many times and I really did not find it to work + it gave me a headache. I still have them as a back-up, they are not high on the list for being effective for me

I can do Chinese, Indian or Japanese no problem. All the other chains with the no wheat and no chicken restriction is just not an option.

Garden Lover are you just taking Cholestyramine twice a day or once a day. I started twice a day and then took it down to once a day and I am now having to ramp it up again. I love this condition

They seem to effect me so I keep away from them.

Sorry Dan to hear about your kids I know I always talk about hoping that my daughter has inherited her Mothers teeth. Now I need to add that she has inherited her gut as well :)

To begin with I took it morning and night - it probably took 5 or 6 days before there was a consistent improvement. I also just read about not mixing with other meds so I am now just taking one at night and meds in the morning. I am now off the anti-spasmodics - I hate being on medicine any...

I am trying it at the moment and with the help of anti-spasmodics life is settling down. Since having my colon removed frequency has been my major issue. This does seem to be working for me.

Well I had another run in with the gut on frequency and thank you Tonya I asked for some Cholestyramine and it has really helped. It really goes to show how helpful these forums can be. I can sleep at night for more than an hour at a time:) I am not planning my trip too and from work such that a...

On the follow up I did 6 months of chemo to give me an extra 1.8% extra chance of survival :) I personally felt that if it was going undetected I preferred to hit it with everything rather than just take the attitude it is gone now so what is the problem. A neighbors father was also diagnosed...
