Anyways, I've probably pissed off a bunch of other folks here. Religion, like politics, is probably one of those divisive topics a support community should tread lightly into.

I didn't realize they give out parchments for "Internet Research." I'll stick with clinical research and field research. Thanks.

I'm wondering why this is in the "Treatment" subforum. Hey, if you think you can posthumously and telekinetically channel your boy, the Homeless Hebrew Carpenter to cure Crohn's Disease by clasping your hands, then by all means go ahead. Just not sure why He™ needs a middleman if he's...

Why don't you do something that's actually useful for Crohn's sufferers? Like... oh, I dunno.... like.... like... for starters... know what the disease is? There are Crohn's fundraising events all over Canada called Heel & Wheel-a-thons during the months of June and July. Check one out in your...

Welcome Stephanie. Sorry about the Crohn's thing. Happens to the best of us. Having an autoimmune disease, it's no surprise you're having other issues. Have you been tested for Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Switch to lactose-free milk for starters. See if it makes a difference before looking at the alternatives.

This is why fundraising is so vitally important.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear earlier. The company relented because the entire staff had issues with the workstation ergonomics.

LINK Interesting. McMaster University is one of the leading research schools in Canada.

Heh. Issue came up at a staff meeting. Supervisor was sort of snotty about accommodating GoJohnnyGo (designated office sick guy whiner) as an exception when everyone else said they had the same problem. Democracy prevails. LOL.

Penny loves the smooth talk. Take it from me.:wink:

You're a kook.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Penny. Sending positive thoughts your way.

LINK Study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology suggests Resveratrol as a possible treatment for IBD. I'll drink to that!

I have had zero issues with Entocort. Works brilliantly for me.

I too have sacroiliitis (inflamation at the base of the spine). Namely, it's Ankylosing Spondylitis. Incidentally adjacent to inflamed intestine. It's all part of the same deal. Auto-immune issues manifest themselves in many ways. Absolutely Rheumatoid Arthritis is associated with Crohn's and...

"Holistic" is a pretty broad umbrella, running the gamut from complementary treatment to outright quackery. Skepticism is your friend. Trust your judgement and don't be afraid to seek out second, third or even fourth opinions. Remember, you're the boss. They all work for you.

Bratwurst!

I'm good with most Chinese dishes. I just avoid the batter-coated deep fried stuff.

Heard of nicotine as treatment in relation to Ulcerative Colitis, but not Crohn's. I would like to see actual clinical trials and peer-reviewed studies in scientific journals first.
