How I beat Crohn's Disease

by David LaRocco
(New York)

Its my understanding that there's no one diet that's right for each individual, has anyone ever taken into account the foods they put into their are creating inflammation. I am almost died of Crohn's four years ago and have successfully overcome the hold the disease had on me without the use of drugs. I want to know people's biggest frustrations went it comes to diet and Crohn's disease?

 I have beaten it since 1996
by: Anonymous

I was told I had it in about 89-90, I am now 50 years old. I have had sulfa and prednisone and simply toughed it out. I have had no medication since 93 and have issues but I manage it ok. Its a tough thing to deal with but it will be OK.

 The fear factor of Crohn's disease
by: David

When people ask me how I beat Crohn's disease the number one thing that always comes up is the fear that cosumed my life. Growing up a nervous shy person I realized that fear of failure was at the forefront of guiding my life. When my Crohn's came to head in 2003 which nearly lead to my death I realized that I created this scenrio because I was afraid of failing as a doctor. See ever major step in my life I ALWAYS had fear right next to me like a monkey on my back. Because If I tried something new and it failed I could easily go back to my old ways. The stress of emotions espcically fear play such an important role in the healing process of Crohn's disease as well as most diseases, this factor is often overlooked in the healing process.

 There is hope and you need to begin with an end in mind
by: David

Personally having almost died from Crohn's disease four years ago I ask myself what value can I offer those who are going through process present moment?
My question for all those who are suffering with Crohn's disease would you rather wait for a cure or would you rather start your own process towards a cure? Being on drugs and looking towards more surgeries was not my idea of options. I knew I could be well without the use of drugs and surgery and thank god I found effective methods that allow me to live Crohn's free for the past four years.
