After a month or so, most of the side-effects of the Remicade went away to the point where I had ZERO reactions to the infusions.
Nearly two-years into my Remicade infusion therapy, I "found" Veganism and even though the treatments DID put my Crohn's into remission, ALL THAT WAS HAPPENING was that the body's normal inflammatory response was being suppressed and I'm lucky that I did not get Cancer or any other disease from the Remicade-
So about two months into my Vegan diet, I asked my GI doctor to officially authorize the cessation of my Remicade IVs and he was very reluctant to do so stating (in so many words) that "diet does not make a difference." It really is possible that these people get a cut when their patients get these expensive therapies.
Anyways, about six or so months ago, in addition to a host of other physical problems, I began to have diarrhea and thought that it would get better, but it slowly got to the point in which what plant matter that went in, came out with next to no digestion to the point where there was blood, mucous and cramps and much more.
So it turns out that the Vegan diet CAUSES every known Gastrointesinal disorder there is, and for the last five or six weeks, I have had nearly zero fiber.
Please look at the You Tube channel "Gut Sense," and please order the book "The Fiber Menace." Veganism is the extreme of what a high fiber and high water diet will do and it is criminal that most Gastroenterologists and their NPs do not bother with this let alone look at patients as individuals, but then again, you can not make money by letting people heal with food, a few supplements and by telling them all the ways in which they can lower their stress.
I have been on Prednisone for about a month now and the side-effects have been interesting.
I have an appointment with the NP at my GI's office on March 29th.
He already knows that I do not want to get the Entyvio therapy that I was EAGER to get a couple of weeks after my last Colonscopy (which looked as though parts of my Colon had a blow torch taken to them, thank you, NWO Vegan diet)-But even the smartest person will listen to "authority" figures when they think that its life or death. I get it.
I also get that the body GIVEN THE CHANCE, will heal albeit SLOWLY.
In now way is this post intended to be construed as medical or nutritional advice, BUT it would be wise to look into the Carnivore diet, stress reduction and other ways that will let the body heal itself.
If you are taking any type of medications which kill off the good bacteria in your Colon (the microbiome), PLEASE look into taking a good probiotic and ask your physician if you can get off of the medication(s) period
Carbonated beverages, sugars (fuel for inflammation) should be reduced or cut out completely.
Since eating nearly all animal products, I have been getting better but compared to the palliative effect or "symptom management" of the Remicade, its going to take a long time TO get better, and I will be blunt-IF things go bad for whatever reason, then I will defer to an ORAL medication first, THEN the Entyvio as a last resort, but I ain't going to worry about that as (ironically), "the worrying makes the inflammation worse creating a vicious cycle.
And I did not even do THAT much research on Entyvio, but Takeda Pharmaceuticals who manufactures this drug has a LOT of lawsuits past and present.
Obviously, do your own research, cross-reference your results, but please, take it from a guy who's had panic attacks and severe OCD most of his life in addition to being a "targeted individual" (very real): Modern medicine and its acolytes do far, far more harm than any good and people are deeply brainwashed to blindly NOT question authority, be they doctors, criminal coward police, politicians, actors, athletes and so on.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to hit me with them.
And if a doctor flat out tells you that diet will not make any difference in healing from an inflammatory disorder, they are lying and/or are brainwashed.
