Answers:
My son was diagnosis with Crohn's disease over 2 years ago!. the doctor wanted to put him on Humira (after experimenting with several other drugs) which is anexpensive drug with life threating serious side affects!. We did some research and wanted to take a new approach to combat His problem!. This is what we found out!. The liver is producing too much bile that is toxic to the digestive tract!. The types of foods you need to eat are those that DO NOT create excessive acid or bile that help in digestion (simply put)!. The bile is normal unless it is in large quanity or toxic, the acid attacks the food as well as intestinal linings of your stomach
Your body is high in toxins that you need to remove and stop feeding into the problem by the foods you consume and an overactive liver!.
1!.) "Foods to eat" : water purified, fish, eggs, potatoes,rice, white bread,meat ground up fine or chewed well, skinless chicken cut fine, tortillas, broth, noodles plain with a little butter, plain yogurt with no extra ingredients, Goats milk or rice milk(rice dreams-Walmart) cherrios rice crispies or chex, plain oatmeal and 'most important' 5x/day at each meal and as a snack, legume's black beans, kidney, pinto, buttered,refried, with no lard or spices except salt to start!. Sunshine calcium and D'3, Iron supplements(in moderation)
if you are anemic!.
2!.) "Foods to avoid!": fruit juice,dairy!,milk (hardest to digest, a cow use 4 stomachs!) chips!,processed foods of any kind, fast food of any kind, soda ,msg,sugar,corn, corn syrup,corn sweeteners,wheat products,sweeteners of any kind, coffee, teas,sauces, read the back labels (you are going to be surprised) for added ingredients any thing thats added, adds to your body's toxic level!. NO artificial sweeteners!. foods that produce too much acid to break down the foods you eat!. No alcohol of any kind NO Tabacco!. pork, fatty foods!.
3!.) 'Foods to eat': in moderation after you stop bleeding and start gaining weight or are having no discomfort : certain fruits,steak,venison, peanut butter or almond butter, more plain oatmeal A multi-vitamin with minerals with 100% RDA (not large dose's of any vitamins and 2x daily ,use shaklee as the bench mark for comparison ) of all of the B's, hard cheese, soy milk,well cooked vegetables" Psyillium powder"!.
4!.)The beans,psyillium powder and oatmeal are a soluble fiber that absorb bile and remove the toxins in your body,then the liver will produce more bile but less toxic(simplified for lack of space)!.
5!.)This is not an all inclusive list and your Doctor will disagree with the elimination of drugs, all removal of drugs should be done slowly if you decide to stop taking them, but they will add to your body's toxic level as you continue take them!. which will make your Crohn's worse and make you susceptible to other more serious disease's!. I am not a specialist in any field or giving medical advice!. I also hired KarenHurd!.com at a fraction of the cost to teach my son to diet properly but you can go to her web site and get free information, but I recommend you pay her for a short time to get you healthy and on a routine faster!. She has a very high success rate!. Stress will make it worst so exercise and relax!. Most importantly Faith, Hope, and Prayer, you will get better!. God is faithful what ever the results!. E-mail me if you have any questions and I can help!. I don't know if you have crohn's but changing your diet could help you and most of us in America because of the poor nutrition we unknowingly subject ourselves too!. Ibs and colitis is similar but the diet still apply's!. Routine and a little bit of self disipline and you will be drug free and have more money in the pocket!. You may have other complications with the Crohn's because you are now susceptible to all kind of complication's and other disease's because of the medicine you take!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was diagnosed with IBS and I cured it using pro-biotic supplments and nutrition!. Read "Patient Heal Thyself" by Jordan Rubin!. He cured himself of Crohn's using probiotics and nutrition as well!. Treating Crohn's going beyond simply taking a homeopathic, it must emcompass your entire lifestyle!.
Most of these problems (Crohn's, IBS, etc) are caused by an overgrowth or candida in your gut and a lack of the beneficial bacteria!. By taking probiotics you are puttig live bacteria back into your gut that are absolutely necessary for optimal health!.
Homeopathy is not complete quackery, but in this case you will need more!. The benefits are that there are no side effects with any other medicines, both conventional and alternative and it will not harm you daughter!. Some people think they work on the placebo effect and I am on the fence about that but I have had success before using them!. Another downfall is that it is often difficult to know what kind of homeopathy will work for you without consulting a homeopath!. Since they work on a different level from herbs and prescriptions, something that worked for someone else may not work for you!.
Here are some things I feel I should mention in regards to the person above me:
They said that homeopathy is dependent on the idea that water can store thoughts!. Look into Masaru Emoto, who conducted many experiments on water and its ability to respond to vibration and energy!. Whether or not you believe it, it is quite interesting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The benefits are that it won't make her any worse!. ( It does tend to go through flareups and quiet periods, and if you happen to be taking homeopathic potions just before a quiet period, you may incorrectly attribute cause and effect!. This is the basis for apparent effectiveness of many AM treatments)
The drawback is that it won't help!. There is no credible mechanism that would explain how it should work (nobody has ever demonstrated that like cures like) and no credible evidence that it does work!.
As several other answerers have mentioned, homeopathy is an implausible and ridiculous placebo treatment!.
Despite Skorpians overconfident arrogance of youth, "experience", "many alternative medicine books" and tiresome copy/paste answers there is no known cure for Crohn's disease!. People occasionally do go into remission as with many of the autoimmune disorders!. Remission is not associated with any particular treatment!.!.!.standard or "alternative"
Yes diet modification is part of standard evidence based care and all Crohn's patients should see a dietitian/nutritionist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The drawback is that it does nothing!. While you mess around with homeopathy your daughter's condition will be getting worse!.
Ask the doctor who made the diagnosis what to do!.
Homeopathic medicine is based on late 18th-century ideas about how the body works!. It was developed well before the discovery of almost everything we currently know about the way the human body works!. It violates some well-tested laws of physics and chemistry - basically if homeopathy worked the way it is claimed to work, none of the chemical reactions and electronic devices we use could work at all!.
It DID work better than the purging, emetics, bleeding, leeches, and toxic crap that the 18th century and early 19th century physicians used !.!.!. precisely because it did NOTHING except give the sick patients a source of clean water!. But medicine has changed since them!. (OK, they still use leeches)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For homeopathy to work the following 4 statements have to to be true:
a: diluting a substance makes it stronger
b: like cures like (e!.g!. to cure cholera, a patient should ingest human faeces)
c: water has a memory
d: shaken water is chemically different to unshaken water!.
If you believe any one of these things is ridiculous (as scientists, doctors etc!. do) then you can't believe that homeopathy works!.
To answer your question: the drawback of homeopathy is that it is a placebo!. That's also the only positive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
