I've been doing well since my surgery May 27, 2013. I had active Crohn's for 16 years until the surgery after that I was OK and have been alright ever since. Small bowel resection they did a double...
I take wormwood capsules that put more acid in your stomach to keep the Crohn's at bay. Bacteria can't form when there's a lot of acid. I got Crohn's through food poisoning so wormwood is basically...

In Ontario, Canada you can get on the Trillium drug plan and not have an insurance plan. They take your income from the middle of the year to the middle of the next year. It helps to be poor. It...
I got a 4th booster shot about a month ago and never wear a mask in public. I grew up in southern Ontario and moved to Markham in 1982. Both my brothers had Sars1 and fibromyalgia compliments of the...

1. Stress (worth mentioning most UC patients usually have their first flaire at a traumatic or high stress point in life) 2. Diet - This more towards processed foods and chemicals e.g. Emulsifiers 3....
I've just been taking herbal stuff since my resection back on May 2013. Was in perfect health until I got poisoned and nearly died back in April 1997 which led to Crohn's disease. Got diagnosed back...
Before I got the Crohn's in April 1997 I was in better shape than most Olympic athletes. Today the only difference is I can't stand on my feet for a long time whereas before I'd be at the racetrack...

Never had a headache on either. I wear glasses so I wouldn't even know what a real headache feels like. The last one I remember must have been over fifty years ago. If I ever feel a headache coming...
I live in Ontario, Canada and I'm 63 and a half years old. At 65 everything is free all but the dispensing fee as long as the drug is approved. I haven't been to the GI since 2014. When I hit 65 I'll...
I've lived in Markham since 1982 so I believe I'm immune to all this and never needed any vaccines in the first place. Both my brothers had Sars1 and fibromyalgia. I just had the Asian flu. Maybe...

Take RAD1-40 or RAD-150. These are swarms they help build a lot of muscle and will probably get rid of colitis. Take them for 2 months at a time and then go off them or a month. Try taking them for 6...
Used car prices didn't go up in Canada. There's just less used cars for sale. No one could afford car insurance before Covid-19 and Powell giving money to everyone who didn't need it and this is the...
Taking Pentasa used to louse my eyes up completely every time. They'd get sore, watery could only move my eyes slowly in the sockets. Taking aspirin itself didn't do anything to my eyes. It's very...
I also take bee propolis usually everyday and occasionally take Reishi mushrooms. I acquired Crohn's through food poisoning so consequently a l lot of the herbal stuff I take is something you'd take...
I've been busy betting the races online from Woodbine. My forte has always been maiden races and Covid-19 provided nothing but maiden races. Since the advent of the slot machine at the racetrack I've...
Boswellia, grapeseed extract and wormwood work well for IBD. Boswellia seems to work for both IBD and IBS. Zinc may help if you take it with these 3. Grapeseed extract is a very potent antibiotic....
I had a pain in the middle of my stomach after the second Moderna vaccine for about a week. Never in my entire life have I ever had a problem with my stomach. What worked for me was taking wormwood...
I always paid out of pocket. When I was on the Trillium drug plan I made too much money and still had to pay for 100 percent of the cost of prescription drugs. The last time I saw the GI was 2014...
Re: I'm in Ontario and all my biologics are covered, including Stelara by the pharmaceutical company. I haven't paid a cent. I'm unclear as to by you're waiting to see your GI until you become 65....

I'm from the Crohn's forum. I take garlic, bee propolis, reishi mushrooms and wormwood capsules. Sometimes I take an iron pill once a week. You need a prescription to get iron pills in Canada. I got...
Nicky, Wouldn't Stelera be covered by the Trillium health benefit?[/quote] True if your income is reasonably low unfortunately my income is sky high but I can't justify paying out of pocket for...
I live in Ontario, Canada and I'm waiting until I'm 65 to see the GI again. With GIC's paying nothing and the stock market ten times more overvalued than the summer of 1929 this is the only sensible...
Got my second Moderna shot February 10th. No side effects, I was perfectly fine after the second shot. We were under lockdown at the time....
