I’m having a Crohn’s flare yet again. I blame this one directly on the fact that I had to stop my Crohn’s meds last Thursday.
I’ve pretty much had a constant fever for days, pain in my abdomen and that awful crampy pain that you get when you have severe diarrhea. Oh yeah and it’s like I’ve taken some kind of natural appetite suppressants because I have absolutely no appetite.
Remember that post I wrote recently where I said the only benefit of being sick is the weight loss … well if I keep up this way I’m going to end up being too thin!
I hate being sick. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
Have you ever looked at “Patient, Heal Thyself” by Dr. Jordan Rubin? It is about how he was cured of Crohn’s through dietary methods. He also wrote “The Maker’s Diet.” You can find it on Crohn’s. net here:

yeah, you definitely do not want to lose too much weight, even though that would be a great diet for some people. I hope you feel better!
Hey Tricia,
My names Tom Stewart the founder of Crohn’s and Colitis Community
I have Crohn’s myself so I understand to some extent the daily problems people can and do face.
The goal of the site is to act as one massive community driven blog with as many authors as possible all speaking about their specific experiences with IBD. Crohn’s, Colitis and all other IBD related problems are mainly anti-social in their very nature. So whats better than trying to combat these issues by starting up a new community driven website where people will be able to contact each other and discusses the problems only people with IBD disease can really understand.
What I’m trying to do with Crohn’s and Colitis Community is get people to come and blog on their experiences with Crohn’s and Colitis. OurCrohns.com has been designed to help people communicate with other people in simlar situations, and to allow people to tell their personal stories.
But for all of this to happen we need people to join the blogging team!
User accounts will be set-up by myself upon request and I’ll personally show people how to use wordpress to publish articles to the website. If you would like to contact me directly then please use the contact form on our contact page.
