I have Crohn's. I stepped my way through about 10 different diets after the standard drugs proved downright harmful. Backed into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet - though MORE restricted. Essentially: 95% of calories come from protein(plain fish,chicken,turkey,beef,etc), 5% from cooked veggies. I've been on it for 5 years. Brought me from the brink to nearly full health (still have stomach and mild small intestinal soreness). Getting to my point, I'm starting to re-introduce foods - plain cabbage juice being added for stomach & duodenal ulcers/erosion. It's working well so far - sharp pains have all become very limited soreness. Was wondering your results after the above post. Also curious if you tried Kefir as other sites recommend it and it's more of the same culturing concept. A couple things. I have Crohn’s.
