This is my fourth year running with this lovely disease and I have not had any kind of flare or any surgery. Overall I am living my life pretty normal like any other guy in my college and and am very active and and into a lot of exercise , yoga and sports.
So far i have been able to maintain it by just good food and exercise.
I have completely eliminated gluten, lactose, caffeine, sugar ( fructose doesnt bother me). But i do take fibrous food and that doesn't give me any problem. The BM are normal and formed.
during meals I take are rice, wholewheat breads, lot of green vegetables and fish.
Few things I take everyday are : Turmeric tea, aloe vera juice, and other fruit juices.
But while i am able to maintain this, I do not know what going on inside my guts. I am really concerned about inflammation. I really want to take proactive steps to keep the inflammation under control and avoid any kind of surgery in future. I know all the articles on web and doctors say that 80% of CD patient will need surgery at some point of time but I really want to keep this fight on avoid any kind of surgery in future. May be I will need to work hard on this and it will take a lot of money and energy (but am willing to invest that).
I would like to know from members what natural food has helped them lower their inflammation and if they know of any food that is a strong anti inflammatory food.
