I’m doing the master cleanse with B&P shakes and clarkia, but I have an ileostomy. I’ve just tried my first B&P shake, and I eliminated what appeared to be the bentonite and psyllium after an hour or so. Because I don’t have a colon I was expecting it to take less time than normal, but to my knowledge it was to take at least a few hours to do anything. I’m not expecting anyone to know much about this, but any thoughts would be really helpful.   [End]

Thank you, that was a very helpful post. It’s encouraging to hear that someone else has gone through this, although I’m sorry all this has happened to you. I just felt as if no one had any answers to what was happening. I’ve tried L-tryptophan and DL-Phenylalanine, but I didn’t really continue it long enough to see any results. I’m also in the process of beginning counselling, but it’s taking a long time to get into the system. I’ve had counselling in the past but it didn’t seem to be intense enough to make any impact. If I may ask, how are your migraines/depression now?   [End]

Hi, I’m 18 and I’ve suffered with depression for a few years. However the past few days I’ve had a terrible ache and pressure around my eyes/forehead. It’s gotten really bad a few times and it makes me feel as if I’m going to lose consciousness/faint, and I feel dizzy/disorientated. I also feel quite nauseous. The first time this happened it ended in a panic attack. I went to A&E but they had no idea what it was, and sent me home with painkillers and an antiemetic. However I had another episode earlier and I went to the 24 hour doctor, who believed it was brought on by anxiety, which was ...

A friend of mine has scarring in her throat, would gargling with serrapeptase dissolved in a small amount of water be beneficial? Also can anyone recommend me a suitable dose for this? Thanks   [End]

Thank you ^__^ Somewhat ironically I want to go into medicine. But I’m thinking of combining it with other therapies such as acupuncture etc. and opening my own practise. I’m doing biology, chemistry, physics and maths in college, so it’s a pretty heavy workload even when you’re working with the rest of the class. Also I need top grades to get into medical school, so these upcoming exams are quite important.   [End]

The link’s interesting. Although I’ve heard about it before, it never goes into such detail. I’m pretty sure my Crohn’s isn’t active except in my rectum. Fish oil has helped my Crohn’s in the past, but it won’t reach the rectum now since it isn’t connected to the rest of my digestive system. Would using a capsule as a suppository work? Horrible thought I know...   [End]

Thanks for the replies ^__^ I haven’t had any dental work shockingly enough. I’ve only been when I was little and had a tooth removed, but I have no fillings or anything like that. My anaesthetics were usually for scopes, but I’ve had one for a gastrostomy and one to take it out. And one for the removal of my colon. I was on an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppresants, but I stopped them a while ago. Since the operation I’ve had no Crohn’s symptoms, except in the stump of rectum they left, which I pass blood/mucus from every day. I can eat anything I want really, but I’d say my diet w ...

Hi, I’m new to the forums, but I have alot of questions. I’m 16 and I’ve suffered with Crohn’s Disease for 10 years now. I had my colon removed in September ’06, but since then I’ve had incredible fatigue. I figured I had Crohnic Fatigue Syndrome, but I couldn’t find any information on treatments. Then I stumbled across an Earth Clinic article on the link between CFS/fibromyalgia and fluoride, and I found my way here, looking into detoxifying. I realised I have most if not all of the symptoms of fluorosis, but one thing that I couldn’t work out was why I had it. I’ve never drank tap wate ...
