Hey killcolitis, The diet you mentioned above doesn't quite sound like a Paleo diet. Paleo isn't about low or no carbs. Matter of fact, it's recommended you DO get as many carbs as possible on the diet... just not from grains. It's essentially a no "processed food" diet. Which includes grains...

Hey Irene, What diet were you trying when you had your relapse? -Adam

Hey David, Thank you for that! You're absolutely right about the meats. Unfortunately I'm ridiculously squeamish when it comes to the organ meats. I'm going to stay more on the chicken & fish side of things, (while keeping beef to a minimum), but I don't think I'll ever get the guts to ingest...

I couldn't agree more Kiny! Doctors need to keep informed. I watched a few of the videos so far. Very interesting stuff. It's interesting to note that MAP appears to originate in the body through the intake of milk and milk products because the bacteria doesn't get killed during the...

Thanks Hugh! Do either of you have any thoughts on fruits and fruit juices (without anything added)? I love fruit and it's the only thing keeping me to a diet like this. But I noticed it wasn't on your list and the 2nd article says it can feed candida. -Adam

Hey Mia, Chips were my vice too. Matter of fact, when i got released from hospital a few days ago, I bought a big bag of ruffles original and ate them all and have another bag sitting in my pantry, begging to be eaten. Unfortunately, now that I'm committed, I'm giving it to my girlfriend...

Hey Fromthegut, I am not a religious person at all. I was born into a Jewish family, but I can't honestly say I practice any form of religion. But I do agree with you that healing comes from many places. I wholeheartedly agree that meditation may very well help people along (I even mentioned it...

Hey Mia, Oh chocolate, RIP. Actually, some people on Paleo, seem to indulge dark chocolate once in a while. I hate the stuff personally I loved milk chocolate, but that's a definite no-no. But I think I've read about 2 Paleos who still indulge every once in a while in DARK chocolate. So if you...

Hey Irene, I believe the theory behind avoiding grains is not the gluten itself. You avoid gluten if you have celiac disease (an allergy to the gluten molecule, I believe). But we all know that you don't necessarily need to have Celiac if you have a form of IBS. The reason for avoiding grains...

Thanks Beach! That's super helpful! -Adam

Hey Ethan, Yes absolutely! Noodles have wheat in them (even egg noodles). Which sucks, because they're my favorite thing ever and were a staple of my diet for years. Rice noodles are "better" but are still not Paleo legal because they're a grain. Paleo advocates recommend using spaghetti squash...

Hey Nikimazur, That's great information, thank you for posting that. Crohn's varies so much from person to person, and you're quite right, the most important thing is listening to your body. My fear with Crohn's is that it comes back so gradually that sometimes you don't realize anything is...

Hey guys, I've taken about an hour to write the following information out to you. I want it to be super concise, but easy to read. I hope you can get through it all because I think it will be important for everyone on this site. Over the last 3 weeks, I have read almost every posting on this...

Hey guys, I've just got out of my 3rd resection and have decided enough is enough. I'm going to a Paleo diet and keeping my fingers crossed that it helps me. The only problem is that I now weigh 120lbs at 5'9, 31 years old. I'm dangerously underweight. Everything I read on Paleo is that it...

Thats great info zdub!! I would love to try that out, but as soon as you have 30 plants of cannabis, suddenly you've got a grow op. I'm in Canada. Everything is more lax, but even for medical use, I would definitely go to jail if I had that much cannabis growing in my home. The Rick Simpson way...

Hey David, Thanks for the welcome message! Yeah, surgery certainly sucks, but sometimes it's pretty necessary. I haven't tried enteral nutrition or LDN. I will certainly talk to my doctor about LDN, but from what I was reading on the forums, the success rate appears to be quite limited. Still...

Hey Em, Thanks for the response! Everything I've seen online suggests that Humira can cause cancer. It's even posted on Humiras webpage. I hate to be the one to tell you that, but it's right at the bottom of the page: http://www.humira.com/ I've also tried Medical Marijuana, with no real...

Hey guys, After watching Rick Simpsons "Run From the Cure" on Youtube, and the video from Shona Banda regarding Hemp Oil and Crohn's disease (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cQrT0sDxyc), I decided to go on a 2 month stint of trying oil. I got the oil from a very trustworthy source, and...

Hey everyone, Long time reader, first time poster, Adam here. I wanted to say hello and tell you a bit about myself. I'm 30 years old and was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 17. Between ages 17 and 20, I went through every medication available and have had negative reactions to most of them...
