It totally works for Chrohns and you have nothing to lose by trying

it. Have you seen the pictures of before and after intestinal photos on

this group's website? At the bottom of every email is a link to visit the

group on the web.

It seems as the case in Sept was somehow related to when I started running

again. Anyway, I am thinking of going off the Asacol and just trying LDN. Today

I am putting myself through a prep again - hoping for a better week and getting

rid of whatever caused this flare up. Any advice, support, ideas you can provide

me on how to move forward, WHat I should or should not do... your experience

with LDN etc.

I'm not sure 2 major changes at once are a good idea.

 

You mentioned quitting the asacol (1) and starting LDN (2) as happening at the same time.

 

I would start the LDN.  Get stabilized on it (over the course of several months probably) and then wean off the asacol.  But that would be me.

 

I take LDN for UC and have been having wonderful results.

Long story short I am suffering from Crohns/Ulcerative Colitis. I am currently taking Asacol.

I am on the scd diet. I had a bad flare up last Sept that pretty much lasted till Jan - until I did the prep for a colonoscopy. I was fine till last Sunday. It seems as the case in Sept was somehow related to when I started running again. Anyway, I am thinking of going off the Asacol and just trying LDN. Today I am putting myself through a prep again - hoping for a better week and getting rid of whatever caused this flare up. Any advice, support, ideas you can provide me on how to move forward, WHat I should or should not do... your experience with LDN etc.

Thanks so much,

So go for the LDN! It's much more effective than the diet alone (though some people do well on just the diet). And the longer you're on the LDN the more your gut will heal.Do it!n, Crohn's 30+ years; LDN and SCD for 1 1/2 years. -- ______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.
