Andi, I usually do not have to take antibiotics but I did a couple of years ago. Bad results, really bad results. My chart says no oral antibiotics. There is a cephlasporin that is intramuscular. Other than the big guns and penicillin, that is all I know. Good luck. Wendy

Okay, I am baffled. I eat basically the same things all of the time. Every so often I get all over swelling. My neck, face, stomach, legs, arms, and feet all swell. It is uncomfortable. My nutrition levels are good. I am in remission. I have had this issue most of my life. I am miserable...

Warning... I am in a bad mood. Read cautiously... Okay, I don't post a lot. I can be a quiet person (some people would laugh at that). I am really in a bad mood. I am a happy go lucky person but not right now and it is driving me nuts. I am the girl dancing and singing in the parking lots...

Hang in there. I had some similar issues when I started LDN. It really took about 3 or 4 months for me. Wendy

Hey Lydia, Hugs! Wendy

Hi Fruitloop- Good advice above. One other thing- have you been tested for Celiac Disease? Natural ways to "keep things in"- bananas, rice, marshmallows (homemade rice krispy treats are my fav.) All of these help thicken things up. Good luck and I third the "find a new consultant". Wendy

One of the things I do is keep the supplements that help me with me at work. I also keep soup to heat in the microwave, various liquids, and those pain relief pads. The "hot" ones are like a portable heating pad. I make sure to stand up when I can and I move around as often as possible. I...

Gooooo Gamecocks!!!

I am a Carolina girl. Love Charleston, Mayflower. I have a lot of family there. 'Kitten- I am very familar with Iva. My brother used to preach at a church close by. 'Kitten, hope you are ok.

Looks like my Boogah Boo. I hope you have as much fun with Sparkles as I do with Boogah. Boogah puts his paws on my chin and stares at me until I open my eyes (5am every morning). Enjoy! Your little girl is adorable! I want those curls. I would love to have a tea party with her. She...

I know Jordan personally. His story is true. I have taken many different brands of probiotics- his work the best for me. The diet works. I strayed off of it and paid a hefty price. I am going back on it. All thru history, those that chose the path less travelled have been judged and...

I am fortunate to have an orthomolecular scientist in my community. Doc has helped me more than allopathic meds ever have. Orthomolecular is the science of healing from within. I tried the meds and I became very ill. The only time I have had trouble (real, debilitating trouble) with Crohn's...

Yes it is working. The only time I have Crohn's symptoms is if I eat something I shouldn't- namely fast food. I will have the big d a couple of times and then back to normal. I still have some fatigue if I eat junk. It does not last more than 2 days and it is just a "gees I want to take a...

Yay!!! LDN has ups and downs in the beginning. I have been taking it for 6 months. I now have more energy than I had in my 20s. Wendy

Von- Your body will tell you when. Mine did- 2 wks after surgery ;) but I had to wait because of a colovaginal fistula. Love the kitty. I have 2 tiny terrors in my home. They are both around a year old and they fight over me. If I can catch it, I will have #3 this weekend. There is a 4...

Cookie, I am an EndoCrohno! My last resection was actually from more endo than crohno. I have had an hysterectomy but I still deal with the bowel endo. Here is my 2 cents worth- trust the fertility doc. The resulting baby is sooo worth it. Mine are grown. (breathes sigh of relief and grins...

Jer- I am so sorry you are going thru this. My lifestyle has been greatly changed. I have gone from luxury car, big house, and no money woes to a little house needing much love and constant juggling of expenses. When this all happened (divorce caused), I worried about my kids. They were used...

Marissa- my hubby owns a termite and pest control business. We use as many "green" chemicals as we can (termiticide does not come in a "green" formula). The pesticide he uses can be sprayed on 2 week old kittens. He has customers that request him to spray their pets. I hope your ants are...

Mine has been as low as 3.4. The doctors were amazed that I was still alive, walking, and laughing. I have Beta Thasslemia as well as Crohn's. 6 is low. The infusion will take a couple of days to make you feel better. I get muscle spasms when they start the infusion if they do not give me...
