I was diagnosed with crohn's 22 years ago, after a while you will know what your system can handle. what you can eat and what you can't. In the meantime listen to your dr, tell them of any bad side effects from the drugs, espesially the steroids, i had massive intestinal bleeding caused by prednisone. because i was on it for to long. had my third surgery last february. was in remission until about a month ago then all hell broke loose again. good luck. it's a tough disease but once you and your dr.find a treatment that's right you'll be alright.

I reciently read a book called "The Makers Diet" the guy who wrote the book had the same thing ... he had an extremely rare type. You may want to invest in the book it is only like 10-14 dollars and very interesting ... you may can profit from it!

chemical there is no real scientific proof that herbal stuff works and how it interacts with the body. whatever you do do not take both because they could react badly together and cause unnecessary side effects.

How about trying a healthy Dr. McDougall prescribed diet?
