Thanks a bunch. I thought there for a while that I was dying. I am getting back to normal now. Whew! This trying to get health can be very tricky! I think I will stick to just one teaspoon molasses. Thank you.Replied by Timh (KY) on 01/27/2015
K: Yes, the green tea is contraindicated for those w/ bowel problems as it much to irritating somehow. Try herbs like Slippery Elm & Marshmallow for soothing & lubricating, and DGL & Allantoin for rebuilding or healing. Turmeric is good for the inflammation and also somewhat antipathogen.Replied by Mmsg (Somewhere, Europe) on 01/27/2015
Kim, you can try using MUCH less. Or you can explain it away as Herx reaction. Personally, I would cut the amount to a quarter of what you are using.Replied by Eve Z. ( Sydney Nsw) on 07/20/2020
When I had Crohns about 20 years ago, thankfully no longer, I had very smooth foods. I slow cooked oily tuna with a variety of vegetables until very soft. I then strained it before eating. The idea was to give me good nutrition and allow the bowel to heal without being disturbed. I also had large doses of Acidophillus, I had many mercury teeth fillings removed, I drank lots of lemon water (1 organic lemon cut into quarters placed in a large bottle of Evian water). Expensive but it all worked. Questions welcome.
