So glad it can be a part of this series. <br /><br />I did do a holistic healing for celiac disease from the same book. Lots of good information in there that might be of interest to your husband: https://thetastyalternative.com/2011/09/holistic-healing-for-celiac-disease_24.htmlAmberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15348271370539448645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-87301225053010302792012-06-25T16:16:57.854-07:002012-06-25T16:16:57.854-07:00It's funny you should mention about the protei...It's funny you should mention about the protein. My son and I were having a discussion about this last year because I was worried he wasn't getting enough. His own studies at University (biology, neurology, chemistry) made him aware that it wasn't necessary to consume the amount recommended.<br /><br />Although many medical experts believe that protein is important to heal Crohn's our experience has been the complete opposite!<br /><br />But then, I'm no medical expert. Thank you for the information about the supplements you use, I think it will be very helpful for others!Vickyhttp://glutenfreescdandveggie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-59897834637721318952012-06-25T15:40:15.399-07:002012-06-25T15:40:15.399-07:00This is an absolutely fantastic post Amber!

I bet my husband who has celiac could also benefit from many of the nutritional supplements you mentioned.

I will look into this myself. <br /><br />And I completely agree about the diets. Thank you for sharing, and I'm so sorry to hear about your hospitalization. Yikes. One thing I don't eat on SCD is dairy. But I have noticed that it's been helpful so far. I haven't started it 100% yet, but I will be sure to share my experience when I do. I always have doubts about one size fits all diets. We all have such unique needs. <br /><br />One thing I was looking into was metabolic typing. We'll see. So much out there. My goal is to find a healing food regimen that I can stick with that's easy and truly healing.<br /><br />Thanks again Nel!Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15348271370539448645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-47993417068719769882012-06-25T11:38:55.717-07:002012-06-25T11:38:55.717-07:00Hi Caralyn,

I take things such as NAG, L-Glut, etc. as needed and always during a flare. And I rotate all those herbs mentioned above. <br /><br />I don't know specifically why we need more protein, but it must have to do with healing. <br /><br />Let me know what you find out. :-)Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15348271370539448645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-9125914531873363362012-06-25T09:40:51.004-07:002012-06-25T09:40:51.004-07:00wow..wat a fantastic post..

Two things I wou...Hi thanks for the detailed post. <br />Two things I would like to share, vitamin D is also very important for controlling inflammation. Following a Crohn's attack my physician informed me I was severely Vit D deficient and prescribed an injection I believe it has made a large difference in my digestive health. Also I would like to caution everyone to follow new diets very carefully. I tried the GAPS diet and suffered a severe Crohn's exacerbation leading to hospitalization while I was on the intro diet.<br />happy healing everyone!Nelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-76265623545038119392012-06-22T18:46:51.207-07:002012-06-22T18:46:51.207-07:00hey Amber!

This took a lot of work with all the links and info --- THANK YOU -- it is greatly appreciated --especially the list of SCD foods. I'm continuing to consider switching to this approach. The protein is so important during healing. My doc said i should aim for 100g a day! yikes! I learned so much from this post and am going to implement some of these herbs and supplements into my healing plan. Have a great weekend! hugs!glutenfreehappytummy.comhttp://glutenfreehappytummy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-27977935149570547542012-06-22T09:25:11.733-07:002012-06-22T09:25:11.733-07:00This is a very informative post Amber, I love the ...This is a very informative post Amber, I love the healing recommendations you have outlined because I firmly believe they are correct!<br /><br />Do you think that any of the supplements has particularly helped you combat Crohn's?<br /><br />When my son was healing, he didn't take any supplements even though we bought (and imported) SCD legal ones from Lucy's Kitchen Shop. I notice she has a much bigger selection now.<br /><br />Also I'm curious about the protein fact - why do sufferers of IBD require more protein? I'm going to google search this. Very interesting! <br /><br />Thank you for all the work that you have done for this post! I shall now go and explore further!Vickyhttp://glutenfreescdandveggie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
