Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Funny you should mention smoke/nicotine. About 3 weeks ago, I posted about feeling relief from smoking cigarettes, and did some simple google research and found a link between cigarettes and the idea/fact that it can help those with colitis (note: " THIS IS NOT A REASON TO SMOKE " , quote from a related website/article): http://ibdcrohns.about.com/cs/ibdfaqs/a/smokingguts.htm I was a light smoker for my teens/twenties. Then quit a few years ago, and that's when I started developing all these gut issues. Before going to pureeed foods & coconut oil, the smoking seemed to help the big 3 month flare symptoms, so I was smoking a couple cigarettes a day for relief. I then bought some nicotine gum, which toally didn't help as much. But now, I am going back to NO smoking, and YES to coconut oil & pureed foods. I will say though, that I was in so much pain a couple weeks back, that I figured the threat of smoking was nothing in comparison to the pain it helped to fight. If you find you get relief for a cigar every now and then - I could sound like a " bad " influence - but man, do what it takes to get you through the really bad times! - SCD 4 Months > > > What are the effects of any second hand smoke from cigars?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I've read that smoking is helpful for UC, and horrible for crohn's. So I guess it depends on what gut disease you have ;-).
