I just read a great email I received from Craig S. Craig said he has been suffering with Crohn's for over 20 years and wanted to recommend a few things to us. One, he said that people with Crohn's should in general steer away from dairy, or use Lactaid treated milk. Also avoid Whey protein. He also said that he takes a supplement of colloidal silver. ****EDITED TO ADD*** Read the comments below for warnings about colloidal silver. It is listed as not only quackery but also having dangerous side effects.
He also noted that his Crohn's gets worse when the weather / barometric pressure changes and asked if I noticed anything like that.
Thanks for the note, Craig. I totally notice my Crohn's is worse when the weather/barometer changes. And I get terrible migraines when the weather changes, as well. It all goes together for me.
I have heard a lot of people can't have milk, but I swear it does not
bother me at all. Fried foods on the other hand, chocolate and popcorn
are killers for me. :::sad cause I love popcorn and miss it:::
That is cool that colloidal silver helps you. I had a friend who told
me about that years ago. I am afraid of heavy metals, though so never
tried it. Too scary for me.
I appreciate the story of how it helps you. I swear by Primadophilous
Reuteri by Nature's Way. Plus my own homemade yogurt which is so
good. I could live off of it. (Sometimes, do!) LOL. My Crohn's is
pretty mild, but it really does slow me down. And I not only work full
time but have two kids 5 and 6 years old so those joint pains and the
fatigue really bring me down. Oh well, life is never perfect I guess.
So readers -- do any of you notice your Crohn's flares up worse when the weather changes? Or are Craig and I just out here by ourselves with our weather effects?
