I have managed crohn's disease for 30 years. Through personal experience and knowledge from working as a Registered nurse. I have felt positive effects from drinking distilled water daily. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables such as mini sweet peppers especially the reds, celery, new potatoes, squash, cantaloupe, blue berries ,oranges, and bananas. Peanut butter and crackers for a snack and primary meats chicken and fish. Medications are important and I have been taking a biologic for seven years and remain in remission. If you are unable to eat raw vegetables boil them slowly until they have a soft texture. In my terribly ill moments I rely on soups and broth and home made soup is preferable. I keep my Drs appointments especially with my gastroenterologists. Finding time to distress through prayer, mediation, exercise, and me time is also important. Crohns disease has made my life more intense and at times harder to manage, but life is good.

Glad you are having good results managing your Crohn’s. That is no small accomplishment.

I would rethink using distilled water though.
Water is super reactive when it comes in contact with minerals. This is why it is considered a universal solvent.

If water is devoid of minerals, which is the case with distilled water, it will absorb them from your body. Basically you are putting in water without minerals but excreting water with minerals from your body.

Of course if you are taking minerals in greater amounts than you are losing them that may not be a problem.

I use many unconventional treatments and have researched distilled water and personally I don’t think its a good idea. That is just my opinion based on the properties of water in general. Certainly, treatment is always the decision of the patient ultimately.

Thank you for sharing your story.

This is great information thank you for sharing.
Do you have any recipes for soups that you have found beneficial that you would not mind sharing? My husband was diagnosed with Crohns this year and is on Humera. I’m trying to help him in any way that I can. Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated!!
