Hi Carmen, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. People with crohns
disease should absolutely avoid milk products, coffee, alcohol, and products
with refined sugar. These make the condition much worse. EPA from fish oil is a
specific for crohns, because of its anti-inflammatory effect.I know of people
who have gotten great results from dietary changes and supplements put out by
Shaklee Corp.(see thier web site at www.shaklee.com)which is an old and very
reputable network-marketing company. They don't sell products through
stores,but send them directly to distributors or "Preferred Members." Since
you're in Austrailia I don't know how you would obtain them, but I will try to
find out. In the mean time see if you can order an audio tape called "Digestive
Disorders"by Diane Petoskey(a naturopathic doctor). She outlines a nutrition
program for people with crohns, irritable bowel and other similar conditions.
Her tape is available from an organization called The Frontrunners" website
www.thefrontrunners.com
fax 1. 612.475.3715 Avoid the above foods and if you can ge a hold of some
cold-processed EPA, start taking 4-6capsules a day. Diane Petoskey uses Shaklee
supplements because they're made differently and give better results than other
brands, but since you're in Australia, I'd try what I can get ahold of there in
the meantime. Will send more info. as I get it. Hope this helps. Susan Epstein

Hi Carmen, I know of some people with crohns disease who were helped a
lot by making certain dietary changes and using specific supplements. If you
want to e-mail me privately and give me your mailing address I can send you
copies of the info. from my files. Susan Epstein [email protected]
