When Mitch started probiotics he had three weeks of D (more so than before when when he wasn't on them), the naturopath advised us to just stick with them, as his body was probably experiencing die off. After he got through that he hasn't had any D at all. In our house we use Align -which has...

Hi Dawn welcome to the forum. My son is on the SCD (which means I do the cooking for him). He's been on it for 2 months now and we plan to stay on it for quite a while. Weeks 3 - 6 are about the worst as you've gone through all the things that you can think of to make, and have to start trying...

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this - or participated in a clinical study of Kremezin for fistualizing Crohn's?? (also called AST-120) I have tried to get information on this from the GI, but haven't heard anything back from them...
