    Baking soda possible autoimmune disease treatment

    Thanks for the report. It can be difficult to tell why diahhrea occurs as there are quit a few possibilities. Certain foods are often the cause. Other causes I have come across are just drinking more liquids and coffee certainly produces more loose stool in myself along with any type citrus...

    What is Crohn's remission like

    I have been in remission for over six years now. Basically I can eat and do anything I could prior to getting ill. No blood or mucous in the stool any longer. No pain, no fistulas, strictures all of which I experienced before. Since my iliocal valve was removed I do have to use...

    Baking soda possible autoimmune disease treatment

    The amount used in the study for humans was just under half a teaspoon. https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-06-13-surprising-new-research-concludes-that-baking-soda-can-prevent-autoimmune-disease-on-a-cellular-level.html# Dan

    Baking soda possible autoimmune disease treatment

    Yeah, it would have been nice to know what amount they tested with. I am taking a quarter teaspoon before meals. I have no symptoms to resolve so I doubt I will notice anything. Dan

    Baking soda possible autoimmune disease treatment

    Hello. I like cheap and easy treatments that might help with Crohn’s. It has not been tested with Crohn’s but given it reduces inflammation substantially, it is likely to help symptoms if nothing else. I found it quite interesting. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321624.php Dan

    About remission

    I never had pain until I was really ill, so in my case lack of pain was not a good early indicator of remission. Blood of course, is not normal so having blood in the stool that cannot be attributed to hemmeroids is certainly a flare indication. For myself, mucous in the stool was the reliable...

    IBD Doubles Risk of Heart Attack...

    I would speculate that any disease with a similar degree of inflammation would increase the likelihood of a heart attack. Arteries get blocked largely as a result of inflammation and the bodies attempt to protect the arteries by forming plaque. Dan

    Success Stories

    Been symptom free for around six years now. Only medication is Cholysteramine since I no longer have Ileocecale valve. I only use that when I am working. I also quit my job of 26 years as I was tired of working shift work, so now I am a rural mail carrier. Not usually the best job for a...

    Anybody else in by boat?

    Your symptoms resemble Lyme disease accompanied by at least one coinfection. Which symptoms appeared first? Gastrointestinal problems or the others? I have Crohn’s but my wife has Lyme disease so I am familiar with both. Lyme disease weakens immunity and it isn’t uncommon to get Crohn’s...

    Crohn's disease and blood clots.

    I had them in my legs years ago. I started taking Krill Oil, Turmeric & Ginger capsules as they are good for knocking down inflammation and make the blood less viscous. I have never had a problem since. Dan

    Is whole milk better for Crohn's?

    Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) can be present in cows milk, and is very likely at least one of the pathogens involved with Crohn’s Disease. Given that, I wouldn’t drink milk at all. Dan

    Anyone investigated Black Cumin?

    You might want to investigate Rife frequency treatments also. It’s my mainstay treatment. It is not a cure in the sense it hasn’t altered my faulty immune system, but by targeting and reducing the specific pathogens that give me symptoms is like rolling back the clock on the disease. This...

    Cinnamon and Crohn's

    Cinnamon is known to inhibit the MAP bacterium. At least it is in vitro. http://knowledgeofhealth.com/nature-may-offer-controlled-relief-from-autoimmune-disorders-cinnamon-and-oregano-to-the-rescue/ Dan

    Peeling and itchy palms?

    If there are pustules along with the peeling it is called palmoplantar psoriasis. I can produce this on the palms of both hands and the bottom of one foot by using an alternative frequency treatment method targeting Klebsiella pneumonia. If I treat for the Klebsiella pneumonia in about three...

    Alternative Medicine

    There are many unconventional or alternative treatments available. I really don't care which type of treatment I use as long as it is effective. That is the key to the whole problem. I have used and continue to use alternative treatments for my Crohn's disease simply because the conventional...

    Vitamin D Deficient

    Yes, Crohn's certainly hinders absorbing vitamins along with other nutrients. I used to be deficient in D and B12. I am now taking around 25,000 iu of D3 and also take a sublingual B12 supplement. The B12 Supplement works far better than the shots I used to get. I never got to a normal...

    What happens to diarrhea output with an ilieostomy?

    Mine just would randomly spit out into the bag. Usually a little at a time but it varies depending on what you eat. Changing the bag was a crap shoot, literally. You hoped it would not pump out anything in those few minutes but of course you have zero control over it. Dan.

    Illeostomy reversal

    My reversal went without any complications. I couldn't wait to get rid of that damn bag. My disease did progress for a while, but I am sure that was going to happen regardless. Things are stable now and have been for over five years. I have no regrets about the reversal. I never had any...

    Severely low LDL cholesterol and living without ileocecal valve

    If you use cholysteramine, that is probably the reason for the low LDL. It originally was used as a cholesterol lowering drug. I use it when I having a bathroom available is questionable. Otherwise I do not use it. I take Krill Oil for my good cholesterol. Dan
