I had untreated Crohn’s for 4 years and by the time I was diagnosed I already had intraabdominal fistulas and abscesses as well as strictures and perianal disease ultimately requiring bowel resection. I’ve had major complications with surgery (diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery syndrome) but it’s been two years since then and I’m currently on humira and i feel healthier than ever and just received news that I’m in endoscopic remission

[@ericreyna3060]

So humira helped you?

[@yoniboboshov500]

@@ericreyna3060 pretty much. Although I must say that I had surgery which put me in remission and then started humira to keep it that way and it’s been 2+ years since and I’m still good (most days) I still have bad days with symptoms but overall major improvement

I’ve had ulcerative colitis Crohn’s and what actually 100% cured me was quality probiotics, vegetable juicing and intermittent fasting with intense exercise. I stopped taking medication because it never worked and even made it worse. I hope people take responsibility for your own health and need to realize the medical industry is not in the business of curing they want to keep business as usual and make money$$. Disclaimer: this is my personal experience as well as two other close family members that have done, this is not medical advice but just my and their experience

[@donutgod2168]

Please can you say what probiotics you used?

[@lb2220]

@@donutgod2168 I am not trying to give medical advice however what worked for me and other people that had the same condition was sugar free Greek yogurt and Vital force probiotics, they have a very good product and available on Amazon. Hope you get well soon...

[@zkhanhazro]

@@lb2220 is there a specific sugar free greek yogurt brand? And for how long have you stopped taking medicine for?

Can you refuse call of speed and still get a biological treatment some GI doctors always want to do a colonoscopy which has its own risks it's like the blackmail you or or would we won't give you treatment if you don't do it
