SCD and Crohns related lungdecease

February 9, 2008

Hi,

I'm one of the really OLD oldtimers.

I used to be on the Maelstrom list and followed to the

LongIsland list and again followed everyone on to this group.

A long long time ago I was diagnosed with Crohns and for a few years

I struggled with conventional medicines and nothing worked.

Finally surgery was my only option.

I refused surgery and started to look into alternatives.

I found the SCD and after 4 years of Strict SCD I was " cured " . My doc

said that my Crohns had " burnt it self out " . (He refused the diet had

anything to do with it!)

I continued on a slightly moderated SCD for 4 more years and then I

just dropped it.

I have had no symptoms from my intestines for years.

But know I have contracted a chronic inflamatory decease in my lungs.

Doc says its a lungdecease seen in about 10% of alle UC and Crohns

patients.

In other words - It appears I've got Crohns in my lungs! (More or

less).

I've been trying to find some information whether or not SCD can help

my lungs. I cannot seem to find ant references between lung deceases

and SCD.

Does anyone know?

Kind Regards
