Thjank you! yes, I have looked there. It’s just very depressing and often if you have an echo chamber of people suffering from the same ailment, it becomes difficult to think outside the box.
Ok! I will look it up, I have no idea what it is O.o
But we are very open minded in terms of treatments.
Thank you, I will read it and if I have any questions will contact Mr. Bray.
Sadly I keep hearing about people who’s children have died from Crohn’s even though the Doctors continually assure you, that this is unlikely until the patient is middle aged.
Check for gallstones too.
Thanks!
During one of her pain episodes they checked for gallstones and appendicitis.
Wish it had been either of those....
Be careful about omitting animal foods from the diet. It’s my layman’s understanding that B12 only comes from animal sources. But you should confirm this independently.
There are also new perspectives on short-chain fatty acids that might be worth investigating as it concerns the fat-free, vegan diet.
It might make sense to get a blood test to check the B and magnesium levels, and also to see a dietician. For some reason, traditional medicine doesn’t give much attention to the diet.
Weirdly enough, I just finish reading an article on a boston doc doing this. I just had no idea it was called Helminthic. Thanks so much!
I thought so as well, as did the patients. After the treatment they are both believers. It is an ancient concept just now starting to be adopted by the medical field. My mother-in-law was a nurse for 35 years but now works for Aetna, and has seen a few of these procedures approved. She said it was very strange to see “fecal transplant” show up on her computer screen.
Your welcome.
Yes, thanks I’ll keep an eye on it. I do add efa’s in flax/nuts etc and take a B12 supplement. the fat free... just means I’m not adding any oil that doesnt naturally occur.
My daughter is not a vegan, but she does eat my dinners which means at least 50% of her food unprocessed.
“It is not Colloidal Silver”
Silver Sol is a solution of nano-sized particles of elemental silver within pure water. It is an amazing product. My family can attest to its many healing properties. It comes as a liquid in varying strengths and also a topical ointment.
I will be ordering some!
The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples, and something else) and “Align” capsules a couple of times a week helped me back from my gut symptoms after a six-week course of intravenous Vancomycin a few years back.....
Cut out all wheat, rye, and barley products. There are lots of things with wheat so watch out. Read the Wheat Belly.
Also, avoid any artificial sweetners.
I believe Crohn’s is completely related to wheat consumption.
Your doctor will know far better than I. If he says stick with it and that it takes six months for someone with Crohns then stick with it. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for the ping KC.

Yes, thank you! Originally we thought she had Coeliac... and did cut out all wheat/gluten for a year. She did not test positive, and it had no effect or improvement at all.
We pretty much eat brown rice,quinoa, and millet as our grains. Once in a while we’ll have some whole grain bread... but it’s very rare. I think there is an over reliance on single grains in the western world. Even in the wheat family, there are barely any choices of flour available... and commercial breads are mostly all hard wheat. I think a lot of people develop sensitivities to foods that they over eat.
Its not just gluten and wheat. Its the insecticidal proteins found in modern grains. That is why you must stay away from them. Even sticks of gum may have wheat ...which may have these proteins.
Its the gliadin proteins by the way that may be triggering the intestinal problems.
