Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I've been diagnosed with Crohn's for 5 years and have been on and off of Steroids about once a year. I started with Entocort, but recently that hasn't been strong enough. I spent the last 7 months trying to figure out what was wrong with me since I was experiencing new symptoms(Bad foul gas, extremely bad bloating, very very load stomach noises, vomiting, but little to no diarreha). I visited an allergist and found out I wasn't allergic to any foods. Long story short I got my gallbladder removed a little over a month ago and landed in the hospital shortly after for a week with a bowel obstruction. I guess it was my Crohn's all along. My GI wants me to start Imuran, but I won't do it. I feel risks out way the rewards. I am looking for alternatives. I am currently taking 20mg of Prenosone along with one Flora Q and 1000mg of Pentasa 4 times daily. I have talked to my surgeon about starting an antibiotic treatment, but LDN interests me. How long have you been taking LDN? What side effects have you experienced? Why haven't I heard of this before? What are the long term side effects of LDN?
