my kid has Crohns. I wonder if this would be a good treatment supplement for him.

He’s been in remission for years but it’s starting to flare up and he’ll be starting some treatment soon. I think it’s a monthly shot. Humera or something.

Chew well. Train to drink more water. No abrasives: nuts, hard seeds. No “hot” spices. No chili peppers, no pickles. Chew up a citrucel or metamucil caplet half and sip some water for each 1/2 cup of food eaten, during a meal.

Thereby making it easier for the gut to move food along the way.

Discuss it with his doctor. I wish him well. Crohn’s is a real challenge. I don’t know if you’re on Instagram, there is a lady there, the Chef With IBD- Crohn’s- who creates her own recipes for people with IBD. She also is on Substack. She has over 300 recipes on Instagram. You might want to check her out if you haven’t already.

All my best…
