Kiny your statement seems to say that you don't think its about healing more about eliminating bacteria. People have been totally healed by using EN or a bag but the moment they reintroduce food inflation starts. Maybe that is because AEIC goes dormant for long periods if time and just...

So one could guess that long term (2 years) treatment with CIPRO could possibly work assuming they never used it before. OF course re population could occur again but I think one could argue that the new occurrence could just be treated with CIPRO again assuming it was completely eradicated...

First, I love your posts. Very interesting from the academic point of view. If its invasive AIEC as you said, and CIPRO "cures/gets into remission" then why is there a recurrence of Crohns? As with any other invasive, you take the anitbiotic, its gone, you move on with your life. But this...

Don't quit! You can turn it around. Just try and get back on your diet the best you can. Drink lots of waters and make sure you are taking a good vitamin. When I struggle with sleep I take 5-10 mg of melatonin, really helps also seems to help any stomach issues for a little while. I...

CDTreat is a new diet also

There are lots of posts on this topic

what is interesting is, we don't know actually how many people get crohns. Maybe some people get it and it goes away? Maybe some people have it their whole life with no symptoms? Maybe some people get it but eat or do something that cures it? It is interesting to discuss causes from an...

I think Dr's are very limited by all the regulations in place and the liability they have. They are pretty much forced to follow a certain path of diagnosis based on rules and regulations and medical guidelines which I think is why it takes so long and so many of us have trouble getting help...

First no matter what you hear on the forum, always follow your dr's advice. That said, you can pull a lot of good info from the forum and compliment your dr's recommendation. I think apple cider vinegar pills have helped me along with a host of other things, turmeric, cinnamon, olive leaf...

are you taking any supplements, any diet modifications?

that would be both interesting and terrible if Crohns disease was contagious.

acupuncture didn't work for me, but I think its worth a shot.

not sure, I just bought the pill form. But there is also buffered vitamin c in the form of powder that is not acidic.

Have you tried liposomal vitamin c?

how did you find out you had latent TB? What were the symptoms?

I am not. I did make some dietary changes, trying to cut out sugar, eating smaller meals. Reducing fried foods. But, I still eat everything.

Make sure you report back, I am curious if they help you. Of course if they dont and you post it, that will end my placebo effect!

just thought I would give you and update Kav. I started taking digest spectrum with every meal, 1 tablet. The bottles says you can take 2, but 2 per meal would be 6 per day, that is a lot of money!. Its been about two weeks since i started taking these and I think they have been working well...

People who have never been to the breaking point will never understand you. I remember my breaking point clearly in my life. It had nothing to do with Crohns. I was in the Navy on a sumbarine about 4 weeks into a deployment, I think I had 8 weeks left. No communication with the outside world...

I am trying Enzymedica extra strenth right now. Too soon to tell. I am taking it before bed because you are supposed to take it on an empty stomach. I am just taking 1 pill. If you read the reviews someone is taking like 4 pills a day and said that helped them, who knows what to believe...
