I have Crohn's Disease. It's a struggle. Some folks have recommended getting a fecal transplant. It is supposed to add bacteria to your gut that Crohn's patients don't have. This stops the autoimmune response. Supposedly. Not sure if this sort of treatment is approved by the FDA.
- geerlingguy 10y agoWith almost any autoimmune disease, there are a thousand remedies that haven't yet been proven to be effective. It might be... or not, but if you can find other ways to manage it through more traditional channels (doctor, surgery, etc.), then I'd go that route. Have had Crohn's since 2003, have had every drug that has been medically approved by the FDA, and had first surgery last year. Beware of anecdotal data, and always get a second (and sometimes third!) opinion before changing any kind of treatment.
