Jerri,

I just sent you a few items. I will also send you all of the chats I have saved on UC. The chats will come in one e-mail and they are all attachments. The file may be large, so let me know if you don't receive them.

All my best

[low dose naltrexone] Re: LDN/Crohns - Help Please!! - BARBARA

I am new to the group and have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and IBS. My doctor suggested I research LDN. Has it helped your crohns/colitis? How long did it take to see results? Any relapses since you started? All information is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
