Thank you for your reply Jmrogers4! I am in the process of collecting info for my GI doc. I had an ilealo-cecal resection done almost a year ago and was tampered off of Pentasa in early May. I drastically changed my diet to a gluten free one with an emphasis on juicing but I am very uneasy about...

Late to the discussion here but very interested in LDN. David- Would taking Pentasa as a past maintenance medication rule one out of taking LDN?

Thank you Dusty, that is good to know. I'd like to keep my grain consumption to a few select grains. I have had 750-1000 ml of fresh vegetable juice daily (80-90% carrots) for the past month now. I was juicing off and on last year but I was never really committed. I think this can be of great...

Dusty: Did your daughter eat any grains when she began her transition away from meat? I won't be eating much chicken breast any more, as I believe it might cause me some issues, and will be focusing on fish. I also will focus on brown rice and gluten free vegetable pasta. This is completely...

Thank you Dusty and Heather! The consumption of a lot of meat that Paleo advocates doesn't sit well with me, and as a long distance runner, cutting out all grains would keep my weight way too low. And if I am no longer consuming the high sugar, high calorie sports drinks and energy bars/gels, I...

Heather: I just noticed that you posted right before I finished my last post, sorry for asking the diet question again! Thank you for that info!

Heather: Thank you for your story! I noticed that drug (Apriso) popping up a few times on the forum as I researched it last night. That is great that you are doing well! I'm not quite sure how aggressive my disease is...I had 4+ years of symptom free Crohn's from April 2007 (a month after my...

Thank you very much for posting those studies! I do believe the second study you posted relates to me as my Crohn's has always been isolated to the ileal-cecal area. That study really gives me some great hope! I was/am still a little worried about only being on Pentasa because I was initially...

Hello All, I have had Crohn's for 5 years, I just turned 24 and I had an ileal resection with appendix removal on June 26th. They took out 6 inches and it was an open emergency procedure of sorts. I saw my GI for the first time post-op today and he thinks that it is a good idea to stay on only...

Thank you AB for the reply! I am feeling pretty good now. My abs are sore for the vomiting, but my bowels are normal. I am sticking to a low fiber diet right now, though I have been having fresh vegetable juice twice a day my Grandpa prepares for me. I read that fresh vegetable is very easily...

Hello All, I'll try to summarize my battle with Crohn's as briefly as possible. I was diagnosed in March 2007, the end of my senior high in high school, after about a month of troubling stomach pains. What finally did me in was an obstruction and they diagnosed me with a laparoscopy, as they...
