That is so encouraging! Crohn's is very serious. One of my aunts died from her battle with Crohn's disease. It is amazing that you were able to come back into balance without damaging surgeries and medications. Great work!

I have just started with a functional medicine practice and hope to bring my immune system into more normal functioning through dietary changes, moving more, losing weight, working on incorporating stress reduction/spirituality, and avoiding allergens/toxins as much as I can/want to. Example: I can switch to organics as much as possible. I am willing to find alternatives to gluten. I am willing to lower my dairy intake to occasional cheese, like once weekly. I am NOT giving up coffee! LOL I'll make it organic. I'll switch my creamer to some weird coconut concoction. But coffee is not going anywhere. Fortunately, I don't sweeten it. So that's one thing, I guess.

I did have surgery. I had a bowel reception 2 years ago that's how I found out about Crohn's. I asymptomatic.

It doesn't make since that I have no control over my triggers. Holistic doctors agree. I'm about fed up with medical doctors. My primary is only there should I need a referral. My true primary doctor is my holistic doctor. He is also a licensed medical doctor and not affiliated with a medical hospital or specialist
