Arthritis???

[Guest guest]

I have been on SCD for almost 3 months.

Most of my symptoms have calmed down with the exeption of arthritis.

I had blood work done 3 weeks ago and all of my inflammation marker are normal.

Why the arthritis then?

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

This blog has been so helpful, thank you.

Arthritis often accompanies bowel disease. I have

osteo-arthritis, which I developed a few years ago, probably because of

mal-absorption issues due to decades of CD. I make sure to supplement calcium,

magnesium and Vitamin D3 regularly and I up my anti-inflammatory supplements if

I am in pain. I use Cod Liver Oil and turmeric . There are others I’ve

seen mentioned here. I also apply arnica gel to any painful joints –

which, right now is limited to my knees. I have very little pain these days due

to the OA. And my ankles, which were the worst for pain and inflammation, no

longer bother me.

There is also rheumatoid arthritis which is also a auto-immune

disorder. Perhaps others with RA can chime in here.

In conjunction with SCD, Low Dose Naltrexone is used to treat many

auto-immune disorders, like bowel disease and RA. If you are interested in it:

LDNScience.org or LowDoseNaltrexone.org

So glad to hear SCD is relieving some of your symptoms.
