Hello,
Last summer, I got a terrible pain in my stomach that wouldn't go with the hours and days. I ended up in the emergencies and they gave me antacids, which relieved the pain quite dramatically. The next days and weeks, I was very weak, like in a burn-out mode, although I sort of recovered after loosing 10% of my weight. I took the antacids for 10 days and stopped.
I managed to get better by changing my diet, but realized that I needed to take care of my health from now on. In fact, I had been having digestion problems (diarrhea) since many years but ignored it until this event. So I went through many examinations by a gastro clinic, and my doctor suggested I probably have Crohn's. I stopped going there, because her idea was to prescribe me lots of medicines, like anti-inflammatory and above all, a pill to take lifelong to reduce my immune system, because she thinks it's what is giving me problems (a too good immune system). At that stage, I decided to take it to my own hands, as I can't picture myself doing that! I'm trying my best through meditation, diet etc. etc. but no real result so far. It's a bit desperate, although I keep the faith. I just discovered this forum and looking forward to reading and learning more about this boring problem.
Will keep you posted if I find any "miracle" cure
