My daughter has Crohn's

Hi all

Just happened upon this forum today and decided to register and maybe spread our story to you.

My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's at the age of 7. She's almost 10 now and it's been tough at times and manageable at others. She is awesome about the whole thing...stronger than I could ever be. We recently put her on a gluten/dairy free diet to see if it helps keep the inflammation down. She was on 6mp but had to be taken off about a month ago because it started messing with her liver.

As a father, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm a musician and instead of doing nothing, I decided to try to help in a small way. I'm trying to record a solo album through pledges. When complete, 100% of the net sales proceeds will be donated to Hasbro Children's Hospital (where my daughter is treated). I have to reach a goal amount in order for this to happen. If I happen to go over goal, I will donate all of that too. In order to record, pledge money will be used but I plan to stay well under recording budget. If I'm able to do that, that money will also be donated.

If you would like to take a peak and learn more about what I'm trying to do, you can visit this page:

All monies donated will go towards research to help find a cure for this terrible disease. I wish you all the best of luck with your families. Thanks for reading...

my daughter has actually been taking that exact coconut oil for a couple of years now. Not sure what it's doing but she likes it. It hasn't slowed down the disease though as she's had relapses here and there. thanks for the comment though!

Yes, we've taken her to a nature path doctor recently and she put her on a gluten and dairy free diet. It seems to be helping a little so far but we'll see how it is after more time. Good luck to you!
