    The Upside Down Enema and the Rest of the Story

    Crohn's for 29 years - I'm currently doing very well with mild left side symptoms (a little intermittent blood off and on sometimes days or weeks apart...and othewise good health; knock on wood). Before I give my background, here's something simple that seems to work for me when I'm starting to...
