I got the email also,still alive,healingwell another traditional forum is also much less active. I believe it is due to facebook where there are many disease groups. As for me, emergency colectomy in 2021,95% colon left plus rectal stump. Blew a hard stool through rectum,went septic. UC totally...

I guess I missed the added veggies. It might be possible that many have small unremarkable strictures and fiber hangs up, and causes a problem. oldmike

I put this in the research section the other day, but in case you do not read there. Very odd finding, relapse caused by greens. Too bad they dont say if raw cooked or what kind. A suspected mechanism is fiber getting stuck in spots causing bacterial overgrowth,which starts an immune response...

Seems very very odd to me. Greens provoked inflammation after remission. Perhaps fiber getting trapped and increasing bacterial load. oldmike https://gut.bmj.com/content/gutjnl/32/6/702.full.pdf

This is interesting, came out today on medical express. If MAP is a cause of crohn's, and if it works the same was as TB then nicotinamide may help. Old Mike https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-07-mycobacterium-tuberculosis-death-macrophages.html

This is easy to do if it works in humans,at least for UC. You can get both supplements. You can get the full paper by going down to more info. I have been looking into iNOS/ Nitric Oxide for years, this approach looks to have merit. In a nut shell, upregulate in mucosa cells, but not so much in...

Chicken and the egg or not. Old Mike https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-01-bacteria-linked-rheumatoid-arthritis.html

I just happened to find a thread which might indicate more than N=1 for a ketogenic diet for crohns. Old Mike https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/29demp/crohns_disease_experimenting/#bottom-comments here is a bit of what might be going on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25686106 and...

Lady: Well the other possibility of which after many years of study is that there is a slight chance that IBD is contagious, I still cannot 100% rule it out. There are a few cases of where the none IBD spouse somehow came down with IBD,whether crohns or UC. Who knows for sure, I don't. You can...

Here is a path to research. Folic acid. Mandatory fortification started 1998. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24944062 Now look into circulating unmetabolized folic acid, then look into natural killer cells folic acid, then look into natural killer cells crohn's or colitis. Old Mike

There is something going on with endogenous calcium,phosphate,and magnesium secreated in the small intestine and the immune system. They form nano particles which grab antigens and present to immune cells. Now what happens if magnesium deficient,perhaps some malfunction, wild guess. Then there...

Not sure if this one was ever posted. Basically only meat diet. So was it ketosis or elimination of just about everything else. Old Mike http://www.ijcasereportsandimages.com/archive/2016/009-2016-ijcri/CR-10690-09-2016-toth/ijcri-1069009201690-toth-full-text.php

I forgot to mention, I love going into a Korean restaurant or grocery store, and start to speak Korean. You should see the reaction, I am treated special after that. Old Mike

I can't tell you much about IBD treatment in South Korea. Spent all of 1971 there, mostly up near the DMZ, it is a beautiful country. I am sure it is much more modern now as opposed to when I was there. Old Mike

Well since creatine does not seem to be doing anything for me one way or the other, and looking at Steve's adverse event. I think I will stop taking it. Too bad it was something new and different, plus you get it from food and none of us are taking more than we get from a pound or so of steak...

Wow sorry to here that, perhaps it was coincidence,perhaps not. So far no adverse events for me. Old Mike

Well for the creatine hydrochloride you only need around 1 gram as the patient took. Why they are using the monohydrate,dont know but for weight lifters the loading dose is around 21 grams then they drop back. So that is what they might be trying in the clinical trial. Mine is arriving in the...

The patient used creatine hydrochloride, but for some strange reason they are using monohydrate in the UC clinical trial. Whether there is a difference in its action, dont know. Old Mike

Dietary Creatine as a Possible Novel Treatment for Crohn’s Ileitis Here is something new and different. Caution too much can cause dehydration, or other adverse effects. Old Mike full paper N=1 but there now is a clinical trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5171926/
