so do you think it odd that my GI has not perscribed a maintenance med?...
I take "Align" and "Primal Defense". Doctors plan is to hopefully keep me off the prednisone and not have to take any maintanance meds. Which of course is my hope too. I'm scared to death of ending...
"One of my main complaints --- is pain, gas, and LOUD stomach noises --- The noises and pain are not as prevalent in the morning, but seem to increase as the day goes on. I also often have smelly gas...

You know, I think thats what's most frustrating to me at this point; is that there is no balck-and-white, that it's different for everyone. So much experimentation at one's own cost,...

Recently diagnosed with Crohn's, reading about both diets, not sure which direction to take here... Any info will be greatly appreciated :)...
Very recently diagnosed with Crohns, yet the more I read, I wonder (hope?) it could be a misdiagnosis? I do not, and have not had diarheah. Crohn's does not run in my family. I have not lost a single...
