My brother has Crohn’s and he’s not doing very good

I hope he is in a local and/or online support group. Family is also very important, especially when a flare-up hits.
I wish him all the best.
It’s a horrible, painful disease.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in my mid 40’s.

Need to find a good gastroenterologist and then get him on a treatment plan that consists of biologics.

Everyone, I found a study that points to a readily available probiotic supplement that specifically addresses the problematic Oribacterium bacterium:

The study:

Probiotic Bifidobacterium longum BB68S Improves Cognitive Functions in Healthy Older Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

“After BB68S intervention, the relative abundances of Solobacterium and Oribacterium decreased significantly (Figure 5C).”
