elemental and lofflex diet?
hi!
Ive just joined this forum looking for some advice and friends who understand! I had symptoms for years, chronic diarreah, bloating etc and went arund many doctors looking for answers when i finally got into see a specialist and had lost nearly 20 kg i had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with chrones in october 2010. I was furious when the specialist told me diet wouldnt make any difference, are you serious? I tried a short course of high dose prednisalone which wasnt successful. i cut out gluten and dairy which helped but not enough. Im really trying to stay off any drugs and am currently trying the lofflex diet after doing 3 weeks on elemental feeds, I already did tis once and was successful but got carried away when i felt so good and got slack with the diet, so i relapsed and had to start again. My main problem is where i live. Tasmania, Australia, where I cant find any health professionals to suport me on this treatment program, all I have is the book by proffesser john hunter. I would really love to hear from anyone who has tried the lofflex diet, I need support and motivation to keep going!
