Aloe Juice, other additional supplements

First - chewable vitamin C - erodes your teeth over time. Better would be something called "Ester C". It is basically calcium ascorbate, so it is neutralized for better absorption and it also provides a small amount of extra calcium (only about 80 mg extra if I remember).
Aloe can be useful, but it contains a component that can irritate some people with Crohn's. Try googling Crohn's + "aloe vera".
Alinia - never heard of it, but you need to take a probiotic when you take antibiotics. Antibiotics can trigger IBS on top of Crohn's, so you want probiotics to help avoid that. Something that I saw recently makes Lactobacillus casei a must-have for Crohn's. It showed an ability to reduce TNFalpha (like Humira etc.) without the undesirable immune suppression. You should take the antibiotic early in the day and the probiotics at least 2 or 3 hours later.
Kefir - if it is a commercial product, you need to take lactaid with it or verify that it is aged long enough to remove all the lactose. Most commercial products are not fully aged as it makes them taste too acidic for most tastes. Applies to yogurt too. It is very valuable because it supports your existing beneficial gut bacteria.
Herbs - you need to check to see if the herbs are anti-inflammatory because of NSAID content. If they have salicylates, then they can trigger a flare. Don't quite know where to look for that. Maybe someone else has experience with those herbs? I have heard good reports about coconut oil for us. There is a story about a guy who wrote a letter to Dear Abby many years ago claiming that he cured his Crohn's by eating coconut macaroons!!! Now there's a therapy for me!
Someone else here (pb4?) recommends Prodiem as a fiber supplement. It is safer than most others including metamucil for Crohn's. He reported that it helped D.

IMHO, the most useful thing that you can do is the probiotics and kefir or yogurt with the caution about lactose in mind. In addition to the potential anti-inflammatory effects from several Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacter brevis was reported to competitively displace other common gut bacteria that are known to be connected to abcesses, fisulas and D, if you consume a whey product like kefir to support the Bifidobacter.

The "AloeElite" product is very expensive but it is supposed to get fantastic results for thousands of people. It is a combination of Aloe Vera (anti-inflammatory) and L-Glutamine (known to heal the colon).

For Probiotics the one most people with IBD seem to be taking is Primadophilus Reuteri by Nature's Way. Another good one are the powders by Natren which is recommended by Jinni Patel in her book "Listen to your Gut".

The hard and fast rule though is take what works for you, it's trial and error. I would never come off my meds but I am going to give those a try.

Yes, I've heard quite about the less than desirable taste of aloe, but I suppose if it works then it's worth it. I'll just have to see. It just scared me off because some people said it was also acted as a laxative.

As I've said, I want to avoid any laxative like the plague.

Thanks for your input guys. I'll definitely be looking in to those things :)

Just an afterthought - there are a couple of products that were designed by Jini Patel Thompson (author of Listen to your Gut) specifically for Crohn's. There are links on her web page: http://www.jinipatelthompson.com/
You find the links at the bottom of the page. about Ester C - it originally came out as an Ascorbyl Palmitate tablet - hence the name. It was very expensive, but boasted superior absorption (and a few other benefits). They discovered that merely neutralizing the vitamin C provided the same absorbability benefit at a much lower cost. Since the stuff is neutralized, it should be much easier on things, but if it is not, you could try dissolving it in water (sorry, I've never tried this and I don't even know if it dissolves properly).

Coconut oil and shredded coconut help a lot, but the effect can take several weeks. Buy organic shreaded coconut because the ordinary baking type has propylene glycol and sugar in it.

There are some very good books by a former Crohn's patient named Rubin S. Jordan who has a very good holistic approach. It takes discipline, but there are NO side effects. All traditional medicine used to fix one thing can really mess you up in another area. I have used his recipes and coconut oil to straighten up my guts (constipation, headaches and cronic heart burn). My daughter has Crohn's disease and it greaves me so much to see her following traditional treatments that never make her better in the long term. She wants quick fixes and grows worse each year.

You need to remember that the body took years to get sick and can take some time to heal. I pray you all will find your health again.
