I'm not afraid of natural sources of fat. I think they can be very healthy and beneficial. Especially fat from grass-fed beef. It contains high amounts of conjugated linoleic acid which is has been shown to help fight inflammation (among other things). I typically avoid buying things that say...

I haven't started this yet but it's on my US Wellness Meats wish list. When I run out of my grass-fed beef tallow I plan on grabbing some bone broth too.

jgo123, That's great your doctor knows another doctor that works with LDN! I hope you can get in to see this doctor soon. That's correct, if the LDN works for you, it will stop the progression of your disease. It could take anywhere from 3 to 6 months for the LDN to start helping with your...

Thank you, Judith!

"doctors discovered a unique mutated gene that was causing constant inflammation in Brygette’s gastrointestinal tract" They found the cause for her. If the treatment does well in other cases and their disease never returns, I'd probably call it a cure. I don't see how it would be any kind of a...

It definitely will hinder your ability to land a job if they require drug testing. I can't use it right now because I'm looking for work. :( I used it pretty regularly for a long time (and built up a large tolerance) and it took a little over a month to get it out of my system. Keep that in...

I get the Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin. It supposedly is formulated to be better absorbed but I don't know how true that is. It seems to work for me. The only multi-v type supplement I take is the Rainbow Light Complete B-Complex. I chose it because it is food based and contains more than...

Hmmm.. I'm not sure about that one. There seems to be mixed opinions across the web on entocort and LDN but I don't want to step on your doctors toes. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of entocort and LDN can give you a better answer.

Hey, Avw... That's awesome you got an Rx for LDN! :biggrin: But please keep in mind that it will not work well (or maybe at all) with prednisone in doses higher than 10mg.

Your post is fine where it is. No worries :smile: I don't know if there are any threads that have already been created that address these things specifically but I can share my opinion and hopefully others will chime in. My parents died before I was diagnosed so I don't know how to help you...

I was 32 when officially diagnosed (in 2010) but I've had GI issues since I was in high school.

Mmm dates. Ever had bacon wrapped dates stuffed with cheese? It's sinfully delicious.

I agree with xmdmom about the compounding pharmacies but for the purpose of just finding out who in the area is prescribing LDN, I had luck calling local compounding pharmacies. Personally, I use Skip's pharmacy in Florida. HERE is the list of reliable LDN compounders for when you are ready to...

You're welcome! :biggrin: Yeah... I just Googled it. I've been taking LDN since October 6th. I never had much pain to begin with but I did have slight discomfort. The discomfort went away for me but I don't know how it is for people who start LDN that have a lot of pain. The Pentasa that I...

Hello! I mentioned it to my doctor and she looked up the study on pubmed. She didn't take it seriously so I called a local compounding pharmacy and asked what doctors in the area are prescribing LDN. I was given the names of two DO's in neighboring towns and made appointments with both just in...

I've used oregano oil along with grapfruit seed extract to kill yeast. I had one occasion where my stool smelled like oregano but other than that I have no issues with it. It probably kills good bacteria too so I take probiotics and eat fermented foods. If you are going to use it, I recommend...

Hello, Brahm! Thanks for sharing your great results with LDN and please keep us updated on your progress :smile:

I can typically eat anything I want and have gotten away with having some occasional popcorn. With that said, sometime last year I went nuts with popcorn and ate a lot of it for like 3 days in a row and ultimately ended up in the ER! Ever since that I've sworn off popcorn :( I also can't have...

Hooray! That's awesome :biggrin:
