Hi There\n\nThe average american has one bowel movement every 2 days and almost everywhere else in the world is 30 minutes after eating! If toxins are sitting in the colon where are they suppose to go? They get in the blood and that is main reason we get illness and disease. We Americans eat so much food that is processed and has all types of chemicals in them. It's no wonder we lead the world in the most types of diseases known. Because we have them all! \n\nTo answer your question; the process is to get herbs that help give you regular bowel movements and that helps clean out the colon. You can do this effectively with a 5-10 day cleanse by eating organic fruits and vegetables (better yet juicing them) and using herbs to help clear the toxins. Do a colon cleanse 4-5 times a year to stay safe.\n\nHere are a few websites that I recommend their plan. Id also be happy to give you more info. Ive done several cleanses over the years.\n\nhttp://www.herbdoc.com\nhttp://www.healmarketplace.com \n\nBest of health to you

I have had luck treating my IBS and a friend that has Chrons tried the same approach and has been feeling much better. Diagnosing auto immune disorders can be difficult.

I also have ulcerative colitis.  My first flare up I lost 45 pounds.  There were NO foods I could eat without causing me pain and intestinal cramps.  Anything passing through an ulcerated intestine will cause pain.  I am assuming your nephew has a severe case like I did the first time.  I was sick for eight months before I was finally diagnosed (this was back before ulcerative colitis was readily thought of as an illness) and put on several treatment regimines until finally one worked.  To be honest, while I was sick I kept trying to eat healthy foods and a well balanced diet to help my body heal.  It was a painful ordeal the entire time and at age 17 wearing diapers to high school is a very embarrassing thing.  Unfortunately, it had to be endured.  Don't worry about building muscle weight at this time, it is inappropriate to the illness.  Just try to maintain the weight your nephew is at now.  Eating fatty foods, however, generally agravates the system with or without colitis and excess fiber might cause problems as well but didn't make a difference with me. Mainly, concentrate on getting healthy.  It wasn't until I went into remission that I was able to regain weight to a healthy state.  I have had several more flare ups since then and at the first sign I go to the doctor.  We have figured out the combination of drugs that works for me:  Azulfadine and a 21 day prednisone treatment.  Unfortunately the prednisone causes weight gain, but if you are careful with your diet this can be avoided and it only lasts one month.  This puts me right back into remission and I can be healthy again.  I urge your nephew to become aggressive with his treatment.  I had to see five different doctors before I found one that even tried to work some options with me.  He MUST get into remission before he truly can add the amount of weight he needs.  There are many treatment options available, and unfortunately, all the people I know with U.C. need different treatments or different combinations of them. It might take a while to find the combination that works for him.  Also your nephew might be one of those unfortunate people that really should have their colons removed because thay do not respond to any treatment.  Agian, this is a very dramatic thing to have done and is really a last resort, but if his health is at risk, he should get it done.  I have three friends who have had this procedure (only one had it because of colitis) and all three lead normal, active, healthy lives.  One is even expecting a baby any day now!!!  Not that your nephew would ever get pregnant, but this procedure is not the end of a normal lifestyle.  I hope your nephew enters remission soon and that he has a positive outlook on his illness in the future.  I know colitis is chronic.  I will always have it and it is a part of me that I have to deal with.  I am so thankful it isn't anything worse.  You can survive and live with this unlike many other illnesses. I will keep your family in my prayers.\n\nBeen there and done that. (And survived that!)

Oh man do I feel your pain!!! I went for 7 years without being diagnosed with Crohn's, finally ended in the hospital for 10 days with a complete obstruction. Have you had a colonoscopy or small bowel follow through x-rays? If not and your dr. doesn't want to, ask to be referred to a gastroenteroligist. If he or she still won't, find a new dr. Having Crohn's undiagnosed for a long period of time can be very dangerous!! You can email me if you need more info.

The basic rule of thumb is you should get at least three times your medical bills. If you are still having problems continue to get treatment. You should have two years to settle.

My wife went through that, said she needed three injections before it would work. After three painful injections she remained exactly the same. Seek a second opinion.

Even if you have used a 1-day or 3-day treatment, you should still wait about 9-10 days after your first application to safely have sex. Despite the higher dose-shorter day treatments, the infection still takes about 7 days to be completely healed. After that seven days, you still should wait a couple days for insurance. And if you've used a 7-day treatment, you'll want to give your body a little time to clean itself of all the cream you've been putting in.

Most women with Crohn's disease are able to deliver healthy, full-term babies; however, many people have questions about the impact Crohn's disease will have on a pregnancy. Women who have Crohn's disease may be concerned about whether or not they have the physical capacity to carry a pregnancy to term, while men with Crohn's disease may worry whether medication has affected the viability of their sperm.\n\n\nWill we be able to conceive a baby?\nWomen with an active case of Crohn's disease may have difficulty conceiving. Men who use sulfasalazine, a commonly used drug to treat Crohn's disease, may become temporarily infertile because the sulfa compound can decrease sperm production. If a man is trying to father a child, he should ask his physician about 5-ASA medications which can treat Crohn's disease without risking fertility. Women with Crohn’s disease who are planning to become pregnant should consult a doctor.\n\nHow can Crohn's disease affect my pregnancy?\nWhile most women with Crohn's disease are able to carry a full-term pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby, it is important for you to know that your disease may affect your pregnancy in the following ways: \n\n\nA cesarean section may be required for some women who have Crohn's disease with complications, including abscesses or fistulas of the rectum or vagina.\n\n\nIf a woman is experiencing an active bout of Crohn's disease during pregnancy she has a 2 to 3 times increased risk of miscarriage, delivering the baby prematurely, or stillbirth.\n\n\nIf a woman has active Crohn's disease at the time of conception, the disease usually runs its course in a similar way to the pattern that was experienced before pregnancy.\n\n\nIf a woman is experiencing active Crohn's disease prior to a pregnancy, she may notice that the symptoms of her disease worsen right after becoming pregnant and during the first 3 months of the pregnancy. The disease may also intensify right after the delivery of her baby. \nIt's important to remember that every pregnancy is different. There is no evidence showing that if you experience severe symptoms during your pregnancy, subsequent pregnancies will also be difficult.\n\n\nShould I change my diet now that I am pregnant?\nIt is important for all pregnant women to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet. As a woman with Crohn's disease, in addition to eating a standard diet recommended during pregnancy, your obstetrician and gastroenterologist may also recommend some special foods, vitamins, and minerals. If your Crohn's disease is being treated with sulfasalazine, it is important that your diet be supplemented with folic acid, since this is an essential nutrient in preventing certain birth defects.\n\n\nAre medications for Crohn's disease safe to take during my pregnancy?\nAll women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should avoid taking any unnecessary medications. However, if you are experiencing active Crohn's disease, it may be necessary for you to be treated with medication.\n\n\nIf you’re a pregnant woman and considering drug therapy, you should speak with both your gastroenterologist and your obstetrician, so that each healthcare provider is well informed about current health issues when recommending treatment options.\n\nAre any diagnostic tests safe during pregnancy?\nAll pregnant women should avoid having X-rays, especially during the first 12 weeks, unless it is absolutely necessary. Presently, MRIs are sometimes used, but more information is needed. The following tests may also be used for pregnant women who may have Crohn's disease for the management of their disease:\n\n\nAbdominal ultrasound\n\nSigmoidoscopy\n\nRectal biopsy\n\nUpper endoscopy\n\nColonoscopy\n\nWill previous surgery for Crohn's disease affect my pregnancy?\nThere is no evidence that a bowel resection due to Crohn's disease affects a woman's pregnancy. The opposite actually

The best thing i can think of is to do the reverse, do it all and then drop one thing at a time and see if it makes any difference.\n\nIf it does, thats the thing you should continue with, if it doesn't then you have eliminated that as part of the successful treatment.\n\nYou may find it is a combination of all of these things that are having a positive effect.\n\nIf that is the case, what is the minimum amount of treatment you need to stay healthy?  Reduce all the treatments by the tiniest bit at a time and see when it starts to make a telling difference, this way you know what the minimum level of treatment should be.\n\n\nI hope this is of some help in finding out - best wishes for a speedy and sustained recovery.

That is really up to the hemodyalisis doc'. Each case is different. They usually try to hold off as long as possible because you can't  just stop once you start.
