I am kind of like your husband, but after time finding a sort of balance that either a) that magical curative diet is different for everybody and oftentimes very elusive, or b) that magical curative diet just doesn't exist for everybody. I still have a lot of faith in the science behind the...

I can't add much at all to the encouragement and advice above, but let me allow to affirm that hooray, what a great virtual meeting place for those of us in similar or somewhat similar circumstances! Also, if you have time to check out blogs to read up on individuals' accounts with IBD. You...

It looks to be for UC but not Crohn's. And clinically most effective in treating c-diff (in the published research). I guess I've gotten quite intimate with fecal matter over the past year--it doesn't seem bad to me. Let the good poo teach the bad poo some manners. The challenge, though, is...

p.s. Since there isn't a font to indicate that I am saying the opposite of what I mean, I thought it might be a good idea to make it more obvious with this post script.

Sorry. Feeling blue is unacceptable.

Thanks all!

You might read our blog. We really want to solve our IBD problems with diet and not with meds or surgery. We've had some success and learned a lot, but we're also using medicine and it looks like, now, actually going to the next step with more meds on account of another flare up.... in spite...

Congratulations! Exciting!

our 4/11 report, IBDinourhome Well, here I am. It's just been a few months since the end of our last episode of bloody poop, and here we are again. Although this seems to have been triggered by an accidental soy exposure, the last week we've remained in foul poop mode and not without blood...

About calling or following up with a doctor who sort of failed you in the past, I agree with what others have said. Did you do anything yet? I want to add that you sort of have a chance to do what happens far too seldom in the medicine field, which is to bridge gaps and help a doctor learn...

If I were in your shoes I would cut out dairy products all the way--no more "trying". See if he does better. Don't worry about seeming like a crazy person. As you learn more about Crohn's and your son you will hopefully be able to see more and more if he has it or not, but at the get go...

A wonderful predicament, although it sounds like it's still nerve-wracking. So much mystery... I, too, will be curious about your doctor's response and to hear from others, perhaps who have had something similar occur?

kathy, was your son on the amino acid formula just for the usual time for feeding formula? and then everything was normal until he was 12? There is a link between allergies and IBD, as both have to do with our immune response. But to what extent, and in which cases, it is still not known. I...

Yes, welcome, and all the best.

There are the negative aspects, which are negative enough, but I do enjoy a good laugh every now again when it comes to the IBD experience and the humor and life that reminds us all that the IBD experience is part of the human experience afterall. Thanks for posting Dan--welcome. And thanks...

I can't decide which line I like more--the awesome muscle mass or the fishing for hot girls.

Yes, I'm interested in this too.

Stormy, we found some (cheaper) probiotics in capsule form where you can empty the contents of the capsule into drinks for tots. Also you might find powder form made specifically for that. I mean, it's still not cheap, but the $20 or $40 gets stretched out over weeks or months instead of all...

Not to miss the pride wagon, we're tickled with our three tots. You hear about Isaac the most, who teaches us continuously about living in the moment. He is learning dinosaur names left and right. But also there is big brother Orry, who enjoys his activities, and is reading like a champ...

Yes, rare, but it happens. Payten and Isaac are 3 months apart. You can read all the details you want on our blog. In Isaac's case he never had formed stool until after his diarrhea got bloody and mucousy and we changed up the diet to the elimination diet. Did you also try eliminating...
