Emergency surgery found crohn's in my sister

by Susie
(Tullahoma, Tennessee)

My sister had IBS symptoms for years and had a colonoscopy 5 years ago with the diagnosis being IBS again. She had emergency surgery Friday the 27th of March and had to have 60% of her colon on the right removed and one foot and 1/2 foot removed of her small intestine removed, evidently this is considered a resection. She is in horrific pain, and food taste awful to her. I want to help her, I told her to rinse her mouth out with aloe juice,,,,,she did and her mouth felt much better, and she was able to eat that night something soft.

My question is can she drink aloe juice, she has not been put on any meds yet for the Crohn's, she is just post op one week plus 3 days as of today. I want to help her any way that I can.

What can she eat? Will she be able to gain back the weight she is losing? Please help a sister help a sister.

 new use of Golden Seal for helping Crohns?
by: susie

I have purchased Golden Seal for my son, and I have encouraged my sister, who has Crohns, to try as well. My son is having good results with Golden Seal from an organic farm in Georgia. One dropper full 15 minutes before meals.

 emergency crohns
by: tom charlton

hi susie i am tom i can understand what you are going through i am going through the same thing . My wife has had all her large colon removed and nearly all her small bowel removed and also a kidney all through crohns . your sister has a large amount of bowel left so the best advise i can give is a high fibre diet and isotonic drinks they are full of vitamins , if she has a colostomy bag keep away from nuts and anything with seeds as this can cause a blockage and is very painful .ask the consultant about remicade for her treatment of crohns . all the very best for the future . tom
