Anyone tried herbal supplements?

[Crohn's & Twin Mom]

I have been taking an herbal weight loss pill that is 100% natural ingredients. The person who formulated it (an herbalist) suggested I take Cat's Claw and Chlorella for CD.
Has anyone gone the herbal route with any success?
Thank you!

Yes. Also Chlorella and Cats Claw are great.

Anything else your herbalist suggested?

I've purchased them and have been afraid to start them because I don't know how my body will react to them. I don't want to be at work and constantly be running to the bathroom if that will happen.
My herbalist didn't suggest anything else, but the herb place I went to purchase them at suggested a supplement called Intestinal Soothe and Build. I purchased that too. A chiropractor that I'm really good friends with suggested drinking an aloe vera that can be purchased at Wal-Mart called "Fruit of the Earth". I did some research about that and was unsure about starting it.
Thank you for any input you might have!

I would start one at a time. Maybe give it a month to see if its works or if you have any reactions. This way its much easier to pinpoint whats good and whats a waste of money

Theres also peppermint, ginger, and curcumin (turmeric), but there are many others that other people find to work well

Be very careful with aloe. I do not have IBD or anything close to it and I tried it for a week and it gave me terrible D and cramps. Not saying it is bad, just be cautious

Thanks Charleigh!
I was afraid of the whole big D thing!
