I've newly joined the forum. I was diagnosed only recently in my late 50s. I live in Philadelphia and I'm looking to switch doctors (already!). I am looking for someone who LISTENS to the patient and who DISCUSSES, rather than just hands out prescriptions without talking about side effects, etc. I have mild Crohn's and would be really really happy to find someone who was willing to watch what my disease does over the next year as I've already shown unacceptable side effects from Asacol and Pentasa and would prefer to modify my diet, take prebiotics and probiotics and see what happens -- I've apparently had the disease for many years and it hasn't progressed much without medicine and with eating lots of irritating foods (I'm a vegetarian and ate tons of raw and stir fried veggies, not the best choice, along with nuts, seeds, etc.). Thanks.
