Malacoesa, it is my understanding that Dr. Sandborn now works in San Diego, CA. I believe he left Mayo about one or two years ago. Here are a couple of links for Dr. Sandborn if you are really specifically wanting to see him: http://gastro.ucsd.edu/people/Pages/Sandborn.aspx...

There was a time when these epidemiological numbers were suspect; they always included some comments to the effect that the apparent increase may simply be due to better reporting and more people seeking care. But my sense is that at this point in time, IBD has been reported and measured and...

Xiaofa, Do you believe that we are "losing our microbes", perhaps with each successive generation? You're arguing in favor of the hygiene hypothesis, essentially then, right?

I've been trying to eat black beans, which are supposed to be a substrate for butyrate-producting bacteria. I may be mistaken, but I've gotten the impression that butyrate is more of an angle relating to UC than CD.

Thanks for bringing this up kiny. The lymphatic system seems like a hugely under-studied area. http://www.i-md.com/docsearch/doc/793aa471-51e3-495e-9303-44b2c363645b Role of the lymphatic system in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. von der Weid, Pierre-Yves/PY; Rehal, Sonia/S; Ferraz...

CrohnGlobal, would you mind clarifying who you are or who you represent? I understand you're French, and you remarked earlier about Nestle. You've used the term "we" in your post, which makes me wonder whether you represent a group of some sort.

Thanks for your efforts Xiaofa to push researchers forward in identifying the cause(s) of IBD. Personally, the thing that intrigues me the most is how IBD can be triggered so suddenly when people change their environment. My disease course was mild for 10 years, and then within 5 months of...

What I was told is that it covers $500/month for 11 months out of the year but for the first month they cover more because that's when folks have their deductibles to be met. I thought they told me they cover $1,500 for the first shipment of the year, but it turned out they covered $2,250 for...

I came across this woman's blog about carrageenan and IBD. I thought it was rather interesting. It's not a very flattering blog for: Ensure Abbot Labs Crohns & Colitis Foundation others http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/07/10/ensure-and-the-carrageenan-conspiracy/ Meghan also apparently was...

full text link to the Slonim article: http://www.jacn.org/content/28/3/277.long Some key specifics: Foods excluded from the diet were all dairy products, all corn and whole grain products, and any food product containing carrageenan. Specific nutrients and bioactive natural compounds were...

I wouldn't give that guy a penny. It's my bias; I tend to think these e-bookers are just scammers. 50 bucks for an ebook, from some guy with no credentials, probably with 1,000 other ebook websites, probably sitting in Nigeria collecting his paypal receipts; I'll pass. I would say this...

This happened to me the other day. I figured that the problem was perhaps because I quit squeezing my leg muscle between my fingers when I should have kept squeezing. My nurse instructed me to reduce the squeezing toward the end of the shot to help the medicine go in better but I think that...

Thanks for the info Judith. When I bought this pillow just a few months ago it would plug up my nose terribly. I had to use several towels plus position my face upward away from the pillow. And slowly the problem has gotten better. I did get this pillow from Macy's, which is where I've...

Hello, I have had super severe allergies around any down products, such as down pillows or down comforters. This has been the case for about 10 years or so. It began as a mystery about 10 years ago, where I couldn't breathe when sleeping and I thought there was something wrong with my house...

I recently left my Humira pen out of the fridge for 90 minutes in my 70 degree faranheit home. I searched the web to see if this was ok, but did not find anything conclusive. I called Humira and they put me in touch with their special section which deals with this issue. They asked me if the...

I wanted to mention this because the importance of this really escaped me when my GI's nurse was explaining it to me, but in fact, this benefit that is available through Humira ended up saving me about $2k!!! I'm referring to the Humira card which is supposed to ensure that your monthly medical...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokane_River This story from Trail makes me think about where I grew up. This is where I grew up - on the Spokane River, about a mile downriver from the sewage treatment plant. As a kid I used to swim in this river in spite of its greenish brown color. If heavy...

Another great article. I'm afraid however that I'm going to have to wait for the movie to come out before I can fully understand and appreciate many of the fine details mentioned herein.

kiny, are you saying that you benefit from antibiotics? Just wondering what you mean by "antimicrobial agents". Great article, thanks for sharing!
