Crohn's Disease
Posted on: 09/05/2009 10:51
My son was diagnosed with Crohn's a few years ago. He wants to stop taking the meds his doctor has prescribed. What supplements should he take? He is staying away from fried foods and fast foods. What other dietary changes should he be making?

Your son should avoid all
Posted on: 09/14/2011 01:55
Your son should avoid all products containg milk or milk derivatives, especially casein (milk protein) - this includes ice cream, yogurt, and all cheese (including the many vegetarian types of cheese which actually contain casein added for flavor/melting characteristics. READ LABELS! Cow's milk protein is a leading cause of gut irritation, inflammation and allergy. Milk and casein are poorly digested - and the problem usually begins when an infant is introduced to the cow's milk/protein instead of breastmilk. It is not enoiugh to take "lactaid" or some other digestive aid but if unwilling to give up the milk products, to ahead and give the enzymes a try.
