There is something better, that has 10 years of affirmative research....Probiotics are the organisms that effect us favorably, but prebiotics are their favored food. Used together to positively influence human health, this is called synbiotics. A very useful prebiotic is inulin/fructo-oligosaccgarides, a fiber that we do not digest, but beneficial bifidobacteria LOOOOOVE, and they produce anti-inflammatory short chain fatty acids(sfca). These scfa will improve diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disorders and ulcerative colitis. Once you start using the inulin/fos powder, 1-1 1/2 tsps a day in soft food or liquids, and have eaten some Greek Yogurt which contains bifidobacteria you can expect improvement in 7 days and you can expect to be relieved of most if not all of your symptoms in 30 days. Long term use will maintain this improvement. Adverse effects are limited to flatulence, but that is at much higher doses. The scfa actually remodels the gut, improving absorption and immune function as well. I am a Registered Dietitian working clinically in a hospital setting. My hospital has the inulin/FOS powder in our formulary. Patients who have diarrhea from radiation therapy also benefit.

I have a friend that swears that raw milk has cured his Crohn’s disease. I also have another lady down the street that was begging me for raw milk when she lost her supplier. She said it's the only thing that works for her IBD.

You can only sell it in my state for animal consumption, and you need a license to do that. So, I wasn't able to sell it to her. The last thing I need is an Amish milk raid, due to my family cow.

However, I told her my cow is in the pasture all day, and if someone happened to help themselves to a little bit.... I would never know about it.

I don't know if you live in a state where it is legal, but you might want to pass that along too.
