Trevor, I'm on the exact same regime! 6 months in. I hope it works out for you. I'll be following your blog intently! -Adam

Hey PM! Welcome to the forum! I'm still feeling pretty good. I have a colonoscopy slated for April, so we'll have to see how things actually are by then, but I can safely say I've adopted the 90/10 rule when it comes to Paleo. I eat Paleo breakfasts (fruit) and Paleo dinners, but sometimes I...

Hey Lala! Ouch, sorry to hear you're flaring, but glad to hear you're taking on the dietary & LDN challenge! Nothing has changed much on my end. I'm still following Paleo as best as I can (a busy schedule means I have less time to prepare specific Paleo dishes), but I'm definitely sticking to...

Hey all, After all the hoops I had to go through with my GI, it was finally my GP who listened to me and prescribed me a 3 months initial trial of LDN :) I started it last night and had some crazy dreams about zombies, but it wasn't super scary. This, combined with sticking to a strict no...

We have to laugh at ourselves once in a while! :)

Thanks guys!

Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but OMG, they're terrible. I just got a new job in an office with a bunch of people and I had to tell my HR rep that I would prefer a desk away from everyone else because of the potency of my farts. Most embarrassing moment EVER. That being said, people are...

I should definitely clarify. I don't intend to "ignore" my doctor. I've already had a conversation with him via email today that I personally would prefer to try the LDN approach for the Humira approach. We're going to scope me every 6 months to ensure I'm in good shape. We butted heads this...

Hey Kev, Thanks so much for the info. You're the biggest proponents of LDN on this website, so I'm familiar with most of your posts supporting LDN. Your story was a big factor in bringing it up to my doc in the first place. I emailed my doc about 2 hours ago giving him my final decision. He...

David, Big LOL's. The "Switching Anti-TNF Agents" article you posted was actually WRITTEN by my GI.

Thanks Melodie. I'm really glad to hear I'm not alone in this. I think I'm going to go the LDN route and just ignore what my doctor has to say. if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong and I'll need another resection, but I can't just ignore the information I keep reading about. -Adam

Thank you, to both of you. David, I will take a very close look at what you posted and will get back to you. I'm leaning towards LDN right now, but going completely against my doctors orders is an unnerving thing. Thank you again. -Adam

Hey everyone, I'm faced with a really tough decision and wanted to call on you guys for some help to see what I should do. Firstly, a very brief history: Diagnosed with Crohn's at 17 years of age in 1998 1998: Went on prednisone briefly 1999: Went on 6-MP/Imuran which gave me terrible bruising...

Hello everyone! It's been quite some time since I posted an update, so I wanted to touch base to give you an idea where I'm at. I've been sticking with a fairly strict Paleo diet since Mid June. I'm approaching the 4 month mark and I'm still feeling pretty solid. Some things have changed since...

Day 33 on Paleo, 126 lbs: Well, it's been a full month! Here's the recap: I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't had any cramps since I reported them last, which hopefully means my innards are healing up. I'm still significantly underweight, but I'm hoping that clears up too. I know it's a long...

Hehe I think you'll be hard pressed to find a doctor that recommends putting meds on the back burner, but there are plenty who recognize that diet is important in controlling the disease a bit more. Keep in mind that you're your own person. if you feel worse on something, you should probably...

Hey Lala! Really glad to hear you're sticking to it too :) Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this. Overall, I feel pretty good. I just overate at dinner tonight and I feel bloaty, but there's no real "pain" associated with it. Just discomfort. Maybe this is what "full" feels like ;) It's been...

Day 29 on Paleo: Weight: 125 lbs Okay, so..... weight gain on Paleo is hard. I've stopped counting my calories, frankly, because I'm lazy, but I think I need to start up again. I'm probably not getting the caloric intake that I should be getting. Regardless, I feel okay (apart from having to...

Hey PB, Born, no. Raised, yeah. I was about 10 years old when we moved out here from Montreal, so I'd say I'm definitely Calgarian, being 31 years old now :) Whereabouts are you now? Airdrie?

Hey ZM, I meant to comment on this when you first posted it. Sorry, it slipped my mind. While I don't think that it's quite as simple as saying "I'm fine" to your body and having your crohn's go away, I do definitely think there is a link to certain kinds of relaxation techniques and healing in...
