That is great. I wish it had worked for me. It seems like every single Crohn's effected person has different results with different treatments. What is the SCD diet? What is a SCD multivitamin? A...

I just would like to add a question based on the same question. Has anyone (diagnosed) with endometriosis ever had a ultrasound or sono that showed "fluid" around the uterus? In the process of trying...
