still if someone were not so lucky as to be naturally lean, it might be in his or her best interest to lower their body fat levels if possible....
I get those often and I've taken that antibiotic. I don't remember whether to take it with food. usually that prevents upset stomach. after your course is over, replenish your flora with probiotics....
when I was on flagyl, it gave a metallic taste to my food, but if I waited a few hours, it would go down....
I don't know anything about vitamin C and cgmp, but I have read that vitamin C increases the numbers and efficiency of macrophages. But what exactly was your point? I was also puzzled....
I'm glad they have come to some conclusions....
well I was searching for anti inflammatory food guide per Jen77's question and I saw one article that just said body fat causes inflammation. that was in this link, which also has a list of "anti...
wow that's interesting !...
Oh, wait, sinus infection? that might contribute to that also....
Thank you everyone! I finally got through to Dr. Ullman's office but no appts till Sept! I also saw the Great Neck site, and emailed them. Thanks and have a nice weekend!...
I don't have the personal experience of an ostomy, but when travelling in what I guess you might call the 3rd world, it's good to bring your own antibiotics, just in case you either can't get a...
I am not having this right now, however, I have at certain phases, pre-diagnosis. it was not long lasting and went away on its own. I've read zinc deficiency often causes this. It can come from...
I've been taking pentasa with food but last night I took it 3 hrs after eating, on an empty stomach, and I was nauseous and dizzy for an hour. then later, my toes on both feet felt numb. then I read...
how coincidental, Crohniemom, I just asked on another thread how to find fistulas! I've just been diagnosed and I have all sorts of weird pains in my abdomen, sometimes what I eat results in tingling...
pb4, you keep saying I said Olive Oil has no anti inflammatory properties. I did not say that, if you read my original msg and my followup, you will see that. I said it doesn't have that many, not...
Oh, OK, thanks for telling me....
Sorry to hear about your problem. I have not had blood clots, but I know that Vitamin E works in a way that prevents blood clots. If you're having surgery, they ask you to stop taking Vitamin E...
Italy is not Western Civilization? They have as many processed foods there as we do here. And restaurants use them all the time. Europeans have the same time constraints that we do, they live in a...
hm...called MS GI, on hold for 40 min....not promising! had to hang up...
Hi, what kind of CAT scan shows a flare up in the small intestine? How can you see what's going on in the small intestine?...
I think we're going OT here. the thread was about his son's remission. we don't know what he ate in Italy. it's certainly very easy to live on pizza pasta and pastries in Italy, same as here. not all...
I'm in NY/CT area. My doctor knows nothing about diet, is not up on research literature, knows nothing about new tests. I'm so jealous when I read about your docs. (sounds like Boston is the place to...
there are more comments on the "new find for CD" post started by randynoguts....
pb4, what I said was, as you quoted "don't think it has that many anti-inflammatory ingredients", I didn't say it had none or no effect. most of those links say the same thing, that it works on the...
for me, stress is a big thing. if I have stress, I can eat hardly anything, I have to be very strict. when I'm not stressed, I can eat practically everything. don't think olive oil has that many anti...
I'm also on half dose and noticed the pain/achiness is less but it definitely changes my "poo" from hard to soft or soft to D....
No, I haven't had any feet reactions but I also get a terrible burning/heartburn feeling when I take it....
this is weird--I don't have this BUT my husband does and I never had Crohn's (which he does not) until we were together. I have to wonder if there is something communicable here....
they mention ccr6, but I've read of a malfunction of the NOD2/CARD15 gene. I think the two different dysfunctions produce two different types of diseases. let's face it, they already lump a lot of...
CrohnieToo,sorry to hear about all that. there were a lot of deaths in my family when I was young, but I didn't develop Crohn's till my 40s. I'm sure there are many people who have similar histories...
anyway, that monavie stuff sounds way overpriced....
I think "aggravate" is a good word. I happen to have all those characteristics and stress totally aggravates it. In fact, I never had any overt symptoms until I had a stressful family situation last...
I've had two, always been put completely under, what happened to you sounds sadistic! maybe verify that your insurance will pay for it, I think they used propofol, but the trick is, you HAVE to have...
I've had Acai off and on before being dx'd, don't happen to drink it now. You can buy it frozen at a health food store, it used to be about $8 for a pound of frozen acai pulp, no sugar or anything...
Sorry you had that experience, CrohnieToo. Good to know the ins and outs of the medical supplies industry. it occurs to me that the same thing might/could happen with regular insurance, too. Maybe if...
I recently got a urinalysis when I had pain in my kidney area, and it indicated I might have them: uric acid crystals in the urine. I promptly started drinking 2 quarts of water a day and the pain...
Does it detect all forms of Crohn's? UC and/or inflammation in ileum and/or in small intestine? Do those all have the same markers, anyway?...
Ivy, you've gotten fantastic advice. I just wanted to add, when I've had a. tendon problems, they recommend wearing heels, not high heels, but definitely not flats. that prevents your tendons from...
Forgive me if this is an old topic, if so, point me to the thread, but I've been reading new agey books and websites about Crohn's and supplements. some of these people say there's a personality type...
I get SS for disability. I get almost $100 taken out of my check every month. I haven't registered it yet and I've heard it's possible to refuse it and keep the $. my experience with family member is...
downunda and CrohnieToo, thanks very much for the info! I think my crappy insurer will use the "we don't cover it cause the FDA hasn't approved it" excuse. that's how they got out of the capsule...
stress stress stress. and carbs, allcohol....
Does Korzenik answer emails? I sent him one a few weeks back and never got a response....
I wonder if it would be worth it for me to get this test? All my other markers, such as ESR, CRP, etc. come back as normal. Are all gastroenterologists knowledgable or do I have to look to find one...
yes, actually, I had good results with a product by Camocare, but I don't remember the name of it. works right away....
I think the least expensive bottle of it is $15 or so, so it's not a fortune if you don't like it. It's absolutely not constipating. I personally got good results with iron glycinate (didn't really...
I wish you the best, but I believe that taking any steroid, esp. a very strong one like Humira will prevent certain processes which would allow the fetus to grow and implant. Category B only means...
Some supplements that are far easier to digest and will actually be absorbed: iron glycinate, or Floradix Iron & Herbs (liquid, very easy to digest, and tasty). Iron should also be taken with C and...
I just want to say two things: 1. I would not take colostrum due to the possibility that MAP organisms are inherent in the product. People who sell it claim how wonderful it is since it's raw. Hmmm....
Of course it makes sense, if you're suppressing the cells that fight cancer: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/business/05drug.html?em&ex=1212811200&en=931694e321e4ea73&ei=5087%0A ...
