For some reason (i read this about 15 years ago), people that eat 2 ARCHWAY macaroons have relief from Crohn’s, IBS. Must be some enzyme in the coconut. This works for me when my intestines go nuts, also peppermint oil (I used enzymatic therapy gels). My girl’s 21 year-old friend was diagnosed with this 1 1/2 years ago. It has ravaged her. After surgery recently, with 2 feet cut out (of small intestine), she is much better. She was on humera (sp?), and it did not help much. She was also misdiagnosed at first, and spent three very sick weeks in the hospital and had her appendix out, which did not stop the problem.
You’re right about the macaroons. I found an article in which people claim to have found relief from Crohn’s eating two or three of them a day.
It could be the coconut oil, which is a fairly strong anti-inflammatory. Googling “coconut oil Crohn’s disease” brings up some interesting results. But the benefits could only be gotten from organic extra virgin coconut oil, which is available at vitamin shops and health food stores. The cheap stuff at Walmart is worse than nothing.
