Hey people, what's good? Not crohns.. that's for sure. This disease has changed my outlook on things as many of yours. I tend to take things less serious now, try to find comedy in whatever I can ya know, a bit more immature/ laid back I guess... Okay well before I had crohns I was probably one of the healthiest I knew, a great athlete and bla bla all that jazz. Well that all changed when I decided I wanted to party and I started to eat unhealthy. I developed crohns within a year or two of the changed lifestyle. My guess crohns was a reaction to smoking and all the preservatives in the crap food. No one in my family line has ever been diagnosed with this, no known stomach problems really for that matter lol so it's probably that stuff aforementioned because that was all that changed. So my fault right? Right..Damnit I made a stupid mistake. I've lost 30 pounds, lost my job because of the dropped performance and being sick, ended up in the hospital for a week stay. I can keep going but you get it. So I've done, humira, Remicade, and some pills. They helped with the amount of bowel movements and the consistency but still I can't get my weight to where it was, I don't feel the same as years ago. Enough is enough, I stopped all those treatments the reasons being they can do much more harm than crohns actually can and for what, to control symptoms? You can do this without those nasty meds and steroids. They say it's incurable but you can definitely control this horse and maybe come close. I started the all natural approach.. trying to slowly return to my previous lifestyle. Started taking supplements like Fish oil, vitamins etc didn't seem to do much. I then tried all natural honey.. That's where things took a turn.. it seems to work just as good as the medicines then I started changing up my diet... drinking only water/ squeezed juice and eating foods without those names you can't pronounce and to my surprise its working. It's doing the damn thing lol. Next is to quit smoking...and to start working out... getting back into playing sports again. Wish me luck...I'll let you know if I get all of that 30 pounds back and the other jazz. I'm rooting for all of you to one day become independent of meds and back to your old selves. TRY taking all natural honey, natural food/drink if you haven't...Please. One interesting fact, there isn't many cases of this disease in underdeveloped countries... One thing they don't do is eat a lot of processed foods.
