Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Hi I know anecdotally that this is common and part of the treatment but as to why? I have assumed it is because the treat like with like approach means that you are getting an aggravation of your problem in order to let the body treat it - but I'm sure others can contradict or explain that better !! Best regards Deborah PS are you using gfcf to reduce symptoms - just looking out for someone doing the same bizarre cooking as me !!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 How long have you had crohns? Was this your first visit to this particular gastroenterologist? Have you been on other more mainstream Western Med. crohns medication for a while? Have you had surgery yet? Have you been adjusting your diet & lifestyle and, if so, to what degree? These can all be viewed as rhetorical questions. There are many factors here.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 hi gfcf is gluten free , casein free ( pretty much wheat and milk products). my son has autism but not " rainman " autism - instead aggressive regressive autism .This is the " new " type of autism which now affects 1 in 166 children. the odd thing ( correct that - one of the many odd things ) about this type of autism is that it is usually associated with bowel problems and frequently crohns. many of these kids have improved their bowels - and their autism with a gfcf diet, amongst other things . i just wondered if this is ever a treatment for just the crohns bit - if it has ever been suggested to you that your condition might be helped by diet ? best regards Deborah Gettingwell , " Voula Augerinos " <catwoman1@i...> wrote: > Dear Deborah, > thank you for your reply.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 --- Voula, No one has ever been harmed by taking Homeopathic preparations, is your gastroenterologist a qualified Homeopath? Occasionally, when a high potency preparation is taken, the symptom can indeed get worse before it starts to get better. Also, Homeopathic medicine usually has to be taken for considerably longer than three days. Ray. - vaugerinos <catwoman1 Gettingwell Wednesday, December 11, 2002 4:02 AM Homeopathy Hi everyone, I am a new member of the group. I have a question about homeopathy and aggravation of symptoms. I saw a gastroenterologist the other week for my crohns disease and he prescribed homeopathic pills for three days. I don't know the particular remedy or potency. I took the first dose yesterday and last night had an awful night. I don't know if it's an aggravation from the homeopathy, or just part of my illness as I have been ill for some months now. I am a bit scared to take today's dose or tomorrow's. I tried to call him and he is out of the office until tomorrow. Is this aggravation of symptoms usual with homeopathy?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hi Penel, thank you for your reply. To answer your questions, I was diagnosed with crohns disease about twelve years ago. How long have you had crohns? Was this your first visit to this particular gastroenterologist? Yes this was the first visit to this gastroenterologist. Have you been on other more mainstream Western Med. crohns medication for a while? Yes I have been on salazopyrin and colifoam. Have you had surgery yet? No thank God, no surgery. Have you been adjusting your diet & lifestyle and, if so, to what degree? Yes I have been adjusting my diet and lifestyle a lot. These can all be viewed as rhetorical questions. There are many factors here. Yes there are. I took the second dose of the homeopathic remedy yesterday and didn't seem to have a reaction this time. I was pretty ill before I took the first dose, so I think it was just the disease and not the remedy perhaps? How are you doing with your ulcerative colitis, and what do you do to help yourself? Love, Voula Penel 12 years ulcerative colitis, who left one e list for IBD when someone asked if taking their prednisone pills with part of the 2 liters of diet cola they drink a day might be a deterent to getting healthy and no one else on the list saw a problem 8-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hi Deborah, I have tried gluten free and it didn't make much difference. I also cut out wheat and milk. Cutting out wheat didn't make a difference, but cutting out milk did. A gfcf diet is being used for crohns by some people. Some find success and others don't from what I have heard. Yes it has been suggested by my doctors that diet could help crohns. The gastroenterologist I saw that prescribed the homeopathic treatment believes diet is critical to crohns, cutting out certain things and also eating as organic a diet as possible.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hi Ray, I don't know if the doctor is a qualified homeopath. Good point! He did ask a lot of questions for quite a long time, he didn't just say take this remedy. Then again that might mean nothing I know. He said to call him after one week after I took the remedy for three days to report on my progress.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Kat, You're correct. Xylitol can be excellent for preventing dental decay (and then the need for root canal therapy) - but if the pulp chamber is infected with bacteria, the xylitol has no effect on that tooth.
