Just a question. I have mild to moderate Crohn's. Has anyone taken Glucosamine for their achy joints? I have researched it online and found some good things about it and my Doctor said to try it. I just wanted to know if anyone has had any success with it.

I'm sure it's useful for some people, but if you have Crohn's your joint pain is not likely from osteoarthritis (which is what glucosamine is trying to help, right?).
