controlling crons, or is it controlling me.

I have been trying to take control of my chrons, and to some degree I have. For now. I started seeing a chiropractor that also believes you can heal with food, and herbs. I have been seeing him since December I don't know how many remember but last may was bad for me. I since went off all my meds. I now have my diahrea under control. I can eat but I am on a strict diet, no gluten or dairy. I have some symptoms that are popping up, like my nails are very brittle, my hair is so dry. I also am constipated a lot. I just started a detox, fingers crossed it works. Its not like all the other detoxes out there its not a harsh one it replaces what you are missing in your body, But removes bad toxins. I am doing it with dr supervision. Its a Bio Detox, the thing I don't understand is why I an constipated, and I always have gas. and why my nails and hair are so dry. is this something that will pass, I am almost pain free. Before I started this the pain was so bad I rolled in a ball and cried and I could not eat my food would rush right through me, so am I improving ??? is it a trade off these symptoms for those??? Any answers to my questions would be appreciated. Thank you :)
