    Coronavirus/Covid-19

    Yes, I have the same concerns about accidentally giving even the flu virus to my father who is in similar shape much less the Wuhan virus. I am a volunteer driver for the county so just by default I will be in contact with people that are sick. I drive people that need medical treatment of...

    Coronavirus/Covid-19

    It doesn’t really matter who should or should not have been tested so far since the tests have not been available. Thats why there really is no way to know how many people are infected presently. They have only been able to test a small number of symptomatic people because the CDC botched its...

    Perspective - Covid-19 and our ibd kids

    If you think about it, if this spread quickly like it did in the Wuhan province. Then say that 15% of the population require treatment all hit the clinics and hospitals in a short time, it would quickly overwhelm the medical system. Slowing the infection to the degree possible prevents this...

    Perspective - Covid-19 and our ibd kids

    From what I have seen so far, no children have died from this virus. The vulnerable people are older, and have an underlying medical condition already. Smokers with lung problems already are more vulnerable also. Children seem to deal with it quite well. It is estimated that 85% of people...

    Question about crohns and fatigue

    Low B12, low Iron, high amount of mycoplasma could all result in fatigue. Not necessarily just one thing, could be one or more.

    Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Recurrent C. Difficile in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

    It certainly would be better to have a healthy close family member as a donor than not. It really depends on what other options are available and what are the odds of success. i am inherently cautious about anything introduced into the body, bypassing much of the immune system. You may...

    Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Recurrent C. Difficile in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

    My experience tells me the same. Remove the pathogens, remove the symptoms. The inflammation is deep in the tissue. How to correct the immune system so it takes care of these pathogens like a normal person is now my focus. Haven’t cracked that nut yet. Fecal transplants are much like blood...

    Iron question

    Some heme iron rich foods are pretty much all meat products. Eggs, shell fish, shrimp and liver. Non heme iron is in vegetables but not as easily absorbed which may be a problem given the medication. Molasses, spinach, beans, lentils have better than average non heme iron. Cooking in cast iron...

    My Story - hoping for some advice

    I use and test several alternative treatments. It all started years ago when my wife contracted lyme from an imbedded deer tick. She had all the symptoms but did not produce a positive test at that time. She was sicker every week it went on. At that point I was forced to find out how to...

    My Story - hoping for some advice

    I associate fatigue with a chronic mycoplasma infection. Thats one I am still battling with. By fatigue I mean utter physical exhaustion doing normal things I can typically easily do. There are certainly many possible causes for fatigue but that one is often overlooked. if you have had...

    My Story - hoping for some advice

    My biopsy came back negative for H-Pylori also. Nonetheless I had plenty of it. Mostly in my intestinal tract but some in my stomach also. Did you ever get adequate treatment for your lyme disease? My wife had that and two coinfections. Babesia and Bartonella. That can really cause a lot of...

    My Story - hoping for some advice

    There are enough symptoms there of an H-Pylori infection that I would treat for one. A negative test doesn’t prove you don’t have the infection. They can only prove you do have one. Been down that road. chronic burning stomach. Both Manuka Honey and Black Seed Oil inhibit H-Pylori. Using one...

    Cramps question

    One thing you can try to narrow down what the problem might be, and prevent it, is to eat certain food. By that I mean eat food that is ground up or similar to the consistency of baby food. If it is a problem physically passing down food it is not so much what you eat but the size and...

    Do you want your nurse to share their Crohn’s experience?

    It depends. If it is in a comforting role as in a child or someone who is really scared by this disease it might be helpful. One possible downside is patients asking you if you think they should do a treatment prescribed by the doctor. Are you prepared to not comment if you think the...

    My Story - hoping for some advice

    I have a few thoughts on your condition but not time right now to post it. One of your problems is likely related to the article https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/11/10/oxalic-toxicity.aspx Dan

    Looking for direction - just got blood results

    I have not used this product but it should help with energy when mycoplasma is the cause of fatigue. It does not have the capability to reduce mycoplasma. http://ntfactor.com/#&panel1-1 Dan

    Looking for direction - just got blood results

    There are studies on pneumonia that is caused by mycoplasma pneumonia that results in a normal or lower than normal white blood cell count. As opposed to bacterial pneumonia which has an elevated WBC count. I don’t think its a stretch to surmise that a high load of mycoplasma whether it...
