Hello everyone!
I wasn't sure if you were supposed to introduce yourself first here or not, so admin can delete if this isn't the place.
Just thought I'd join since I don't know too many people in my situation, but I know there are definitely more.
I'm 21 tears old and I've had Crohn's since I was about 6-officially diagnosed at 17. I'm not sure exactly how the environment is here toward basically leaving physicians out of treatment, but I'll share anyway. I've been on Prednisone, Amytriptiline, Remicade, you name it. All either doing absolutely nothing for me, or making things worse.
A friend told me about how his dad did a lot of juicing and cut out GM food to cure his stage 4 colon cancer, and suggested I try. I started feeling the effects immediately. I can't even digest a piece of iceberg lettuce, but juice is MUCH easier to digest since there is only soluble fiber, and the rest proteins and phytonutrients. I am currently flaring but only because I was stupid and took my health for granted because I felt well again. I'm getting back into juicing, and will hopefully have the discipline to stay on a mostly plant based diet again. I don't want to get into it with anyone's physician (I myself will hopefully be a P.A.) but I definitely recommend at least supplementing your treatment this way. If anyone would like to learn more about what helps me, or have advice for what helps you, let me know!
Thanks!
