Hi everyone, I'm no longer a lurker but plucked the courage to be a poster. I was diagnosed with Crohns in 2012. Since then I have had one major flare in 2014 which hospitalised me for some time. I am a bit different to a lot of crohnies in the fact that I do not use conventional medication. Some mind find that crazy, stupid, inspiring - it's at the end of the day a personal choice.
I control my Crohns through a strict paleo diet, essential oils and supplements under the supervision of a naturopath.
As a lot of people think holistic methods are a fair bit of hocus pocus - I recently did a very dangerous experiment where I stopped all treatment and deviated from my diet considerably, just the usual things people eat like chocolate bars and ice cream, not even in excess! I have been fighting a flare since then, 2 weeks ago.
I would love to hear anyone's stories about holistic methods they found worked for them! I'm not about the negatives. If you don't agree that is absolutely fine but please do not be nasty about it. We all choose our own journey.
