Don't try eating an ice cream cone. Ha ha. That will stop you in your tracks. Yeah, it's not any fun. I hope I never have to use prednisone again. It's the weirdest drug I have ever used side effect wise. Dan

That is interesting. I was curious on how the body would compensate for that, or if it would. If I could grow back the valve they removed I would be 100%. Doing pretty good in spite of the missing parts. Dan

I had bad tremors while on pref and teeth hot cold sensitivity. Lots of other weird effects would come and go. One leg swelled up then went back to normal. The teeth sensitivity took months to go away once I was off of prednisone. But it did go away eventually. Good to ask the doctor about...

I take it every day. Maybe that's the difference? My ileum was removed so there is nothing left in me that is supposed to process B12 Dan

Pretty much my reason not to seek out help for my depression. I wasn't willing to use the medications and I already had dealt with it for most my life. Resolving it was an accident while trying to treat my Crohns. Yes, I can see where lack of B12 could alter your mood. There are lots of...

Yah, sublingual worked better for me and is much easier. No jabs. No trips to the germ infested clinic. Dan

My depression which I had over thirty years started in my teens was directly caused by lack of omega three fatty acids. Krill oil resolved it completely. That is not the cause for everyone, but it is one cause for some of us. Good luck. Dan

I can drink any amount of coffee providing I don't drink it with a lot of food in my stomach. I don't drink it with meals. I typically drink a few cups in the morning long before I eat anything. You can get low acid coffee which is much easier on the stomach. It may not be the caffeine but...

Anything that lowers your immunity is going to allow the Lyme disease to run rampant. There is a small group of lyme disease patients that develop Crohns as a result of the borellia infection. Lyme disease lowers your immune response which can allow other pathogens to get a foot hold in your...

Anything I want. Dan

I buy stocks that are bad news stocks. If the company has other stable drugs already approved, they can be over sold on news like this. I recently bought VRX for the same reason. Haven't looked into this one as I am heavy on pharma already, so do your research first. Too bad the results...

They are generally raised with antibiotics in the feed. Dan

I use D-3 in caplets. They are 5,000 iu and use varying amounts depending on the season. In the winter, when I get almost zero sun I take around 20,000 iu a day. Some do not need that much some need more. The key is to get your blood level of D checked regularly until you get to the range...

I think it is a pretty important supplement given the positive effects it has on myself. I guess my question on it is why does my body need this supplement to begin with? Ideally, it should have its own source of amino acids to do the job. I can get along fine without it, but it does...

The sublingual B-12 tablets worked better fot me than injections. For the first time my last test was in the normal range. I don't miss the shots either. Dan

L Glutamine on an empty stomach is very soothing to my intestines. Noticeably. To gain muscle you take it with food. Never used whey protein. Dan

I have noticed that I get tonsil stones when I get above a certain amount of magnesium. I can take the amount contained in my multivitamin, but if I add another individual mag supplement the stones start up. I can extract them, but to get a couple a week is excessive. Yes,Crohns certainly...

I had a temporary ileostomy for fistulas a few years back. It went well although I never really liked having the bag much. Surgically, it went well with the install and reversal. Hopefully, I am done with that for good. Good luck with it all. Hope you recover nicely. Dan

Magnesium and vitamin K and D help the body use calcium. I find that L-Glutmine has Avery pronounced healing effect on the intestines. Maybe something to look into. Most everyone is deficient in magnesium nowadays because of soul exhaustion. Dan

I would guess it's a spider bite and sometimes staph infection will accompany a spider bite. Dan
