While you were taking the barley grass and slippery elm, were you on any other medications that you took at the same time? If so what were they? Thank youReplied By Macky (New Iberia, La) on 06/08/2013
I had been on meds for flare ups of Crohn'sfor many years. I had bad side effects from the meds so when I started taking the Barley Grass I was not on any prescriptions. I haven't taken any meds since 1997 and do not have any problems with my colon. I avoid caffeine and cows milk. I also took acidophilus. Please read about the benefits of barley grass. I took capsules instead of powder I pray you get well. Thank you. MackyReplied By Martin (Philippines) on 08/31/2015
I also took barley but made my condition worse. At first I felt relief but after a month, I feel bloated. I had itches and hives. I also had blepharitis and eczema. I only took barley and Apple Cider Vinegar so I think I got this from barley.Replied By Sneha (Marysville) on 06/27/2016

At the time, I think I took 6 barley grass by Natures Way. I also took acidophilus then added zinc. I didn't learn about Slippery Elm til later.
I pray your husband gets well from this. I drink Almond milk now instead of soy.
