Hi Kitty,

Thanks so much for your reply and so sorry that you are struggling. I hope that you continue to stay strong to fight for the treatment that you deserve. I appreciate hearing about your insight and experience regarding some of the treatments available. We are newbies with this disease and feel somewhat overwhelmed. Any type of remission right now is our main goal. I just recently contacted a naturopath for my daughter to see if she can try some lifestyle and diet changes that might complement her medication treatments. I also suggested that she try intermittent fasting to see if it makes any difference. I know that a lot of this is trial and error. I find that any type of lifestyle or diet advice is very much lacking with our GI doctor as the "go to" is always a new drug - which I understand why they do this but I don't want this to be the only treatment. My daughter is finally off high does of prednisone so at least that is a relief for now. It was nice connecting with you Kitty. Nice to know that there are people out there who can relate to what we are going through. Sending healing wishes your way.
