Just curious how much everyone can eat on a daily basis. I get in about 1200 - 1500 calories on most days, and I'm full to the brim! Somedays I do eat more maybe about 3000, so I think my body...
have you tried organic and cage free eggs? It might help. I can't eat eggs either, major D when I do anymore. At one point in my life I could, but no longer:( sure miss them. Perhaps we have...
Hi Emma! I've just emailed you:) Feel free to contact me whenever you need to. Happy healing to all:)...
Well, you never know until you try. I stay away from meat for the most part but find a turkey burger appealing at times as well, when I have it though, it doesn't sit well. I up my green juices...

exactly Roni! he he, there has to be better one's out there! I don't judge but the one I had was not helpful at all, in anyway shape or form which made me very sketchy about trying his "remedy". If I...
Thank you for your input. So I went and saw a naturopath/homeopath today. Well, I'm very disappointed, not that it won't work for people, gave me the complete willies. Bad vibes for sure, he...
Sorry, but we're not supposed to post to promote our own blogs. You can add a link to it in your sig and profile if you like, though. Ivy....
I wouldn't recommend it. I worked for an eye doctor for five years. When the optician measures you for glass they measure the distance between your pupils, and then center the lenses in your frame...
Hemp protein is awesome. I love it and use the powder form. I get it at whole foods. I have crohns but it doesnt seem to bother me....

I"m sorry you are having such a hard time. This too shall pass. I hope that you feel better very soon!...
This is great! Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was diagnosed with IBD in 2005. I gave up on the doctors because i was allergic to the medicines and never really found a doc that cared until my...
Interesting, thank you very much for that information. I wish more people understood, i seem to be judged by people who have no idea what its like to live with this disease and how hard it is to find...
Hello all, Why is it that we can have so much pain and so many symptoms and the docs cant find anything? I had a cat scan the other day and the results were inconclusive because the barium didn't go...
I'm different from everyone else. I only seem to respond to fruits and veggies and lots of green juices (made fresh from home). I swear I can't eat anything with chemicals or alot of animal fat. I...
Do you have a juicer? are you able to drink vegetable juices? I can and i swear my juicer has saved my life by juicing kale/spinach/celery/cucumbers. But use caution i know that some people cannot...
Thanks Nanners, i'm scarred i must admit, but it's my fault for not being on medicine. does anyone else feel like it effects their personailty? i'm so torn with that. here's to hoping its just...

I believe it is directly related to crohnes, because crohnes can cause inflammation anywhere really, even in the joints. Sometimes I think about what inflammation and disease really are. Inflammation...
well thats great to hear! thanks...
I"m so sorry to hear of your stuggle and totally understand. I feel the same way you do, but try not to focus on it. I hide my symptoms and frustrations with family and friends but I think it only...
Just thought I'd post this link. It's for UC, but it's all IBD so: http://www.naturalnews.com/028813_olive_oil_ulcerative_colitis.html ...
Can strictures or blockages fix themselves naturally? Or does surgery have to be performed?...
Wow that is powerful. I've heard great things about the vitamix, i just might have to try it. Thanks!...
With oranges too, if they aren't ripe when they are picked, they will not be getting any riper. So, you have to be careful with your fruit and make sure it's ripe, otherwise it can cause digestive...
that's interesting because I used to make alot of green smoothies (with spinach, kale, nuts) but I started having problems with that. So now I just juice them as opposed to blending. I know that...
I drink fresh green juice just about everyday if not 2 -3 times per day. I juice mainly: kale, spinach, swiss chard, cucumbers, celery, carrots and sometimes beets. Not all in the same juice. I...
I agree with Fruitgirl, have him try it but make sure he is eating enough calories. If he's not planning on doing it forever, I think 1 month will be fine and might help him to establish better...
I've tried a diet similar to his in the past. It's basically the raw food diet. I ran into deficiencies and decided it was not the best for me. If he wants to do that he needs to supplement all the...
Maybe you could look into the way they clean the instruments for the colonoscopy, that can't be ethical! I think your topic is a great one though, something many people struggle with. Good luck!...
I'm embarrassed to say that I get like this too and I'm 28 years old. I definately agree with the above post that it's all lack of some type of vitamin or nutrient. B vitamins definately make me feel...
I do sometimes. I take care of my grandmother and I worry terribly about her when she's having a problem. I worry about everything though. I'm sorry your son is going through a difficult time. It's a...
Ouch, the thought alone makes me curl up in pain! he he. Congrats to those who can, I hear cayenne pepper has a great deal of health benefits....
I just thought I'd chime in. My electric blanket is one of the best things that ever happened to me! I don't know what I would do without it and definately feels it helps to relax my muscles a bit:)...
does anyone find eggs or salmon gives them problems?...
I'm very sorry to hear of your struggle. I think most Crohnies lose alot of weight and then gain then lose. It's a vicious cycle. I understand where you are coming from. I lost a ton of weight in the...
Thank you so much for writing an update on this. Very interesting, how nice that he has crohns too. I haven't heard of that other therapy either, vitamin d, yes I did read that thread on here. I hope...
I've had this happen twice within the past month or two. I have CD though, not UC. I noticed it happens when I have milk, the first time was after Kefir. I don't know if its a sign of it getting...
So, I need some advice from the people who understand. So, I have a date on Saturday for breakfast at bob evans. I can't do eggs, meat, gluten, bore. So I was just going to order a fruit plate. Now,...
sgirl, First off I'm very sorry that you have this disease. You will find a ton of support on this forum. It is a very tough thing to deal with. You asked "how to cope?" well, I find that there is no...
Newfoundsun, What kind of test is the Naturopathy running on you? Sounds interesting, that's awesome that your insurance covers it too:) Good for you!...
