I have moderate to severe Crohns for 12 years. I was diagnosed when I was 21. Even with all the medications, it was hard to manage (Asacol, Imuran, Prednisone). A friend of mine that is into holistic stuff told me to try drinking Nopal Cactus Juice (aka Prickly Pear Cactus). I'm willing to try anything that might help, so I did try it and am ecstatic to say it has worked for me! I'm off all of my medications now and just drink the Nopal when I start hearing my colon start to rumble. I guess Native Americans and Latinos have used Nopal Cactus Juice for a very long time to treat inflammatory processes. It worked for me, maybe it will for you too. I buy mine from GNC but you can also buy it on Amazon. Some companies sell it for $100 per bottle, stay away from those companies, you can buy a bottle for $18-$24. Just wanting to get the word out. I don't know of any other people with Crohns who has tried this, so if you try it and it works, let me know!
