  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

lot by making certain dietary changes and using specific supplements. If you
