If this is at all encouraging, my son didn't grow at all for over a year before being diagnosed with Crohn's this summer. He's gained close to 20 lbs. since July. Part of this is due to the meds - he is on prednisone though finally coming off it (yay!) but it is clear that he is digesting food better now. Is your daughter on any medication at all?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Donvier yogurt-cheese maker is great for yogurt dripping. It's easy and mess-free. I use 3 of them - since I can't tolerate yogurt, and yogurt cheese is much lighter on the stomach. I got mine from Digestive Wellness. carolfrilegh c.frilegh@...> wrote: > > Hi, I'm new here - good to join in the group.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thanks Faye, No, she had to stop everything due to the fact of how sick it made her - I think the Prednizone would be okay, but she came off it too fast once and went into a long flairup. -- In pecanbread , cf young wrote: > > > > PS.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thank you, Carol. She actually has the book and reads it sporadically; we were both sort of hit and miss until her really bad flairup this time which made her get so thin. Thanks for the tip on the yogurt cheese. I just saw Alton Brown make it on tv that way. Bob > > > > Hi, I'm new here - good to join in the group.

It's just strange that she should be taken off all the medications. What were they? My GI started my son on prednisone, and wanted him to go on 6-MP (generic for Imuran) right away, which would have allowed him to wean off steroids right away, but I was resisting it. I finally agreed to the 6-MP and I'm glad. He's also on Pentasa. About the steroids: there is another steroid that people react to better called Entocort. I'm not too familiar with it but know my son wouldn't have been a candidate because his Crohn's was in the esophagus and Entocort is IIRC most effective for colons. If she really can't tolerate the meds, the diet may well be all she needs. Since we're only 99.9% on the diet (my son will taste the occasional potato chip, and I've misread some labels) I hope he can continue to tolerate the meds. Of course we'll never know if it was the meds or the diet that hopefully will do the job but frankly, I don't care ;-) HTH and take care, Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I assume there's nothing wrong with any products from that web site, Digestive Wellness?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yes, they're fine. Just be aware that some items are not for beginners, like - nut bars, and hazelnut blondies. Otherwise, their stuff are great and a real asset for the diet. Debbie d_e_b_b_i_e98@...> wrote: I assume there's nothing wrong with any products from that web site, Digestive Wellness?
