I'm curious as to what products people are using. I'm currently taking Digestive Advantage Crohn's & Colitis Therapy. I guess I can't really notice any difference. I've also been taking Milk of Magnesia before I go to bed to help me "purge" in the morning. It relieves a lot of the cramping and nausea, but obviously it's not a very "pretty" scenario. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Probiotics to reestablish good gut flora, l-glutamine for gut healing and omega-3 to reduce inflammation are the supplements I've found most helpful. See my sig for other things I take.

If you've been on the probiotics for a month or so and haven't seen any changes, you need to either increase your dose or try a different brand.

I support what princesa says (as usual). The only thing I would add in addition is a supplement called co-enzyme Q10, which is an anti-oxidant. Personally, I only use some supplements when I think they are needed (n-acetyl glucosamine, co-enzyme Q10, aloe vera). I take probiotics and omega-3s religiously, however.
