some interesting things???

Hi guys,
I want to bring some things to the forum. First, the possible link between Crohn's and an intestinal candidiasis. There is a lot of websites talking about this syndrome which I believe is real and there are many things that can cause candida overgrowth. I own several books about this syndrome. Are you familiar with Enterolab??? I order a test with them. Enterolab is unique and Dr. Fine, a gastroenterologist, has some interesting idea about how IBD start. Probiotics is another thing... are you aware of this new clostridium strain which could be implicated in the develoment of Crohn's. F praunitzii (sp?) Google it... LDN an old drug that can bring Crohn's in remission. Naltrexone is the drug name... Do you think antibiotics trigger Crohn's????? Antibiotics kill the gut microbiota (freindly flora) and cause dysbiosis. The last ....What about a CDSA from Metametrix, Genova Lab, Great Plain Lab ??? It looks like they are the most advanced stool analysis in the world so far...
Opinions , please???
Thanks and blessing,
Jorge

I can't comment on most of your post, but I can say in my case that antibiotics didn't trigger my Crohn's since I'd only been on them once prior to my diagnosis. And I've never used probiotics either...

Don't know what caused it, don't know how to cure it...it's damn annoying...

Same as Nyx for me too.

Jorge - You might be interested in a couple journal articles I posted here recently:

Update on the Role of Probiotics in the Therapy of Pediatric IBD

Bacterial Infections: New and Emerging Enteric Pathogens

I think it's highly conceivable that gut microflora, and their affect on the immune system, have a huge role in IBD

I am familiar with Enterolab and was considering using them to investigate the possibility of Celiac in my condition.

Welcome to the group!
