Soo many questions!!!!

[monty2mom]

Okay, So I was diagnosed on the 11th of Jan, 2012 with Crohn's. Suffered from beginning of October 2011 until just about 4-5 days ago. All the usual symptoms of course. Now I found "Restoring Your Digestive Health" by Jordin Rubin and the Brasco guy so I've been reading that and even made the Brasco Broth last Friday. I ate it Friday and half of Saturday along with taking the clay and water additive (and my regular meds, asacole and budaneside (sp??) So my gut felt great and I've not been having many bm's at all but damn I couldn't do the full 3 days on that brasco broth! So I eat very little here and there and not great foods. My gut is feeling good though I must say...only thing now is I have this crazy really sore neck!!?? Anyone have ANY idea what this might be?? Also, I'm still taking the water additive (Dr. Willards Water) all day when I drink my water. I'm also doing 1 Tbsp of the Sonne's clay. I am not taking anything else. I am not a good cook by any means and I have two kids and a hubby and now I'm just LOST on what I'm suppose to eat and all this organic, fermented, all natural, make-it-yourself stuff that I have NO IDEA about!!

I'm overwhelmed at all this information and I have NO IDEA where to begin or what to do! Does anyone have any suggestions? My G.I suggested I take a prenatal vitamin every day. However many of the folks on here are taking all kinds of Rubin's garden of life probiotics and similar homeopathic meds. What to do? where to start? I'm afraid to eat vegetables at all and I know I'm not getting enough nutrients. I stopped working out months ago and feel like I really need to start that again but afterwards I'm SO HUNGRY and I don't want to eat too much!! I don't know how long this will last and I don't want to do anything to bring back all the terrible symptoms. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone stuck to the Guts and Glory program to a "t"?? It makes total sense but it is so much and so overwhelming and I just don't know how to begin this process! And any info on this neck stiffness would be greatly appreciated!!
UGH!!

Sorry you haven't gotten any responses. Due to the nature of your questions, I'm going to move your thread to our diet forum. I haven't tried any of the diets you mention nor do I know much about them, so I'm no help. Sorry! Hopefully others will be along soon.

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed

Hi and welcome! I am sorry you feel so overwhelmed. There are so many different treatments, supplements, diets, etc. to try, I can understand your frustration. I must admit, I am not good with diets. I love food too much. However, when my guts are unhappy, I stick with a low res diet of things like toast, rice, crackers, plain chicken, applesauce, etc. These items are easy to digest and helps reduce pain.

As far as supplements, I take fish oil for its natural anti-inflammatory properties. I'd also like to try a good probiotic like VSL #3, as I have heard good things about it.

I think you'll find the forum really helpful to hear what has worked and not worked for our members. Good luck!
