dandelion root for crohn's disease

I have had crohn's disease for the past 6 years. I've been hospitalized 3 times because of the terrible flair ups. I've tried different medications but none worked. I started taking probiotics, digestive enzymes, drinking herbal teas, meditating, eating smaller portions, and stopped eating raw fruits and vegetables. It helped, but I would still have flair ups about 3 times a week. Then just by chance a friend of mine told me about dandelion root drink and said it tasted just like coffee. I was drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and was told by my doctor that I shouldn't be drinking it so I thought that the danelion drink would be a good alternative. To my great surprise after about a few days I quit having flair ups. It has been 3 weeks and still no flair ups and I've been able to eat anything i want! It's like a miracle. I drink it in the morning and again at night. I feel like I've been cured. i would highly recommed it to anyone with crohns. I get the dandelion root at a health food store. It is already ground up and you put a teaspoon of it in a cup of hot water, you can also add you sweetner (stivia) and cream if you like and ENJOY!!! GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HEALTH
