InSoFla said... Disbride, You have some great tips! I do gluten/wheat/dairy free and a lot of your tips here, instead of astaxthanin I take Wild Salmon Oil, I do a strong probiotics. I don't do whey...
Is L-glutamine powder okay for a flare-up?...
Hugs......
I guess it's been about two years since the last one. It's kind of a combination of things of why...since I eat really healthy (gluten-free/diary-free, pretty much no/little sugar, no soy, healthy...
I find it odd that my food allergies tests ONLY shows food intolerances to bananas , asparagus and oysters and not wheat/gluten, whole wheat or milk, but there is a slight intolerance to "whey" which...
Well, I can always try an elimination diet. I had a blood test from the Ear/Nose/Throat doc which showed no allergies. Then I had a blood prick test from my Naturopath which says bananas, asparagus...
So I will have to do some reading up on it since I've never heard of it. But I've been doing well the past few weeks by chewing my food good and sticking to a blander diet, and eating smaller meals...
My gastro told me I can take it every day, all I want as needed. I only take 1/2 a pill a day, I seem to be doing "better" (yeah). But in the past I have gotten into some Sorbitol (in some ice cream)...
I was taking Bee Pollen in the past as my "be vitamins", plus they have enzymes and aminos, so that is good. They tasted good, and so it wasn't a big deal and I think I might of lost a few pounds....
I have sublingual b-12's....
Just curious as to why. Do you take it instead of b-stress for stress due to your disease? Or for the enzymes/aminos to help you digest better? Just curious. I understand the need for b-12 (totally)...
I guess it feels like it's "bruised" inside when I push on it, maybe more like 2" above belly button area....
I'm sorry! I hope things get better. It's always difficult to come to terms with a health condition. Heck, I didn't want to admit I had thyroid problems for years or that I have to take meds for that...
I guess it's about half way from my belly button to my rib cage area, it's a pain only when I push on it a little with my hand/fingers. I wonder if that is from indigestion and if it goes that way...
I think that antibiotics pretty much throws everybody's "flora" off in their body and yeast/candida/thrush happens in the gut, it can happen on skin/genital areas and tongue. I've dealt with it over...
I also wonder if I can take digestive enzymes as well (along w/prilosec) or would that counteract it (again, I need to ask my gastro, I know). My son is on papaya enzymes after his meals for his...
Looks like I'll be on Prilosec, and Loperamide for quite awhile! ; )...
Wow, I didn't realize that you could stay on it long-term...meaning our own gut just doesn't kick in like it's supposed to (never replenishing and getting back to normal?). Okay, some questions to...
I know, I know I need to ask my gastro doc, but I had my endoscopy/colonoscopy and he said he thinks I have Crohn's and biopsied. I thought there would be a follow-up appointment, but there wasn't, I...
It took me YEARS to realize soy was bad for my health (I won't let my family have any, either, but it does get snuck in foods if you don't read ingredients and they put it under other labels as well...
I'm gonna grab that book at the book store. I also get my food allergies' test back prob by the end of the week or by beg of next week (and my son's) and so that is exciting. My son also has his...
hmmm, I wanted to try detox clay, but I'm nervous to. lol....
...
soy milk btw (or any soy, I was mostly vegetarian back in the day) caused me to gain an immense amount of weight (despite exercise) and slowed my thyroid/metabolism to an almost stop. I love the...
lol. I've had a pretty good week with the Prilosec working for the Gerd and my bland-ish diet. But I got extra hungry this weekend and I guess went a little overboard on eating or eating outside of...
I've never had much symptoms before during that time of the month, but I will say that I would get diarrhea that time of the month on and off over the years. I wasn't dgn'd crohn's then, nor think I...
So far this week in Prilosec and I'm happy with results....things are much better in the Gerd dept. for me....
I sometimes wonder if adrenals are tied in as well (stress hormones), well I'm sure they are. If you read up on adrenal fatigue, which I've had before....
I'm scared to "treat" too much bacteria w/ an antibiotic, they did that last month and I got deathly ill! It was scary, it probably made it worse. So far probiotics and a very blandish diet for me....
lol...I come from an energetic family, I'm probably the least energetic. My mom/aunts and sister are always running around, my sis works out like 85 mins a day and my mom goes to casinos for...
Lol, I don't get gassy (but my aunt w/Crohn's has stories). I do have indigestion and will lay down and then get up and the hugest, longest, gutteral burp from my esophagus will come out. Ew! lol...
I'll prob give that Roobios/lavender/chamomile/rose/passionflower tea I found then and not be worried about it. lol. I do hear good things about roobios. I was wanting awhile back to try bach...
I like traditional and regular medicine, I just don't know a lot and newly dx'd. Yep feel a little anxiety/depression and trying not to! I'm just home this week b/c my son is sick and car wouldn't...
I don't understand how food couldn't be the largest componenet to our intestines/well being, but I have to do a lot of reading up on Crohn's and talk to my aunt who has it. I know she takes a lot of...
Here's luck to you and good well wishes! Sorry you have to go through it! I still need to figure out what all these words mean (fistula) and all that, but I'm new....
My sis likes Valerian, too. I wonder why I'm scared to take it, I forget it thyroid people can take it or not....
I just want to post my APPRECIATION that all of my family is doing well. My Mother-in-law got a bit of breast cancer a few years ago and w/radiation treatment was able to get rid of it (yeah), my...
Yes, the commercials. I actually prob shouldn't watch as much TV, we didn't have cable for years, just basic which I liked but my husband wanted sports. So I find a lot of negative stuff on. I should...
