Alternative approach

Has anyone had any success with alternative meds or seeing a homeopathic or natural pathic Dr.
I did 4 years ago and have been in remission until now. I'm now living in a new state and am having trouble finding an alternative dr. I have an appt with a gastro today (after ending up in the ER yesterday) but am very nervous to try and rx meds. I had no luck with them last time and don't for see and luck this time. I also hate the thought of being on continuing meds.

I was also wondering if any one had any luck the SCD diet<<

I've had much success with dietary modifications - currently doing what I'd call a less restrictive version of the SCD - and alternative supplements. However, if you're in bad enough shape to go to the ER, you probably need to consider prescription meds to get a moderate to serious flare under control enough for the alternative methods to work.

The book Listen to Your Gut is an excellent source of information on a wide variety of treatment options.

my family and I have put my disease into remission with the SCD diet. I was on 40 mg of pred for three weeks and getting nowhere with it. I ended up in the ER because I was feeling dizzy and my GI wanted to put me on 6-mp. I refused to take the 6-mp and i decided to give the diet a fanatical try 6 weeks ago. I am now in remission and am down to 5 mg of prednisone. I am currently on Stage 3 foods(according to the pecanbread.com website), and am doing well. The challenge is I have lost 15 lbs and it is hard to gain it back when you don't have complex carbs to help you gain the weight but I am in remission and use the toilet only once a day! It has been a godsend, but i must warn you it is a challenge not to be able to eat the Standard American Diet.
