You're healing, and that takes energy. Your system has to change from

rumen digestion to human digestion, and that takes energy, too.

Make sure you're eating enough calories to maintain yourself. Most males

need 15-18 calories per pound of optimum weight per day. (We women only

need 11! It's not FAIR!) I remember one guy who lamented about his

exhaustion, and when he plugged in what he'd been eating to FITDAY.COM,

he discovered he was eating about half what he needed... no wonder he was

exhausted!

I was on LDN at the beginning of the year, and it was gangbusters for every

Crohn's symptom but my fistulas. From there it was a sprial downward, since I

got on pain meds and LDN and the darvocet just cancelled each other out. I'm

currently on 6-mp and Cimzia, but next year, after this diet kicks in and starts

healing me, I want to get back on LDN. I need my fistulas to heal first, which

they are finally doing. If I win the mega millions any time soon, I think a

million dollars is going to go to LDN research, it's exciting, cheap stuff.

And cimzia is $1700 a shot. Wonder which drug is going to have more clinical

trials, right?

Heh.. Mara.. you haven't been to your GI's office in a while huh? To see all

the advertisements? I always find it appalling that meds advertised to IBD'ers

is like people rock climbing or flamenco dancing..

Cimzia is a biologic.. for RA and CD although I am sure they must give it to UC

as well. Kinda like Humira..

Hi ,

Depending on the printing edition you own

of breaking the vicious cycle on page 65 Elaine discusses the importance of

elevated B levels for intestinally challenged people. When I showed that page

to my family medical doctor he said I need a B-12 injection. Very quickly I

felt much better. Later, to avoid the long drive and waiting room doctor time,

I found sublingual B. Even later our doctor taught me how to inject myself –

that was totally weird but it worked!!!!!

Aloha,

Mort

, this is a good sign. It's when your gut is reacting to the changes... I call it depression... but fatigue is part of it.
