Wanting to help....

I have a close friend of mine who has Chron's disease. He has been dealing with the illness all alone for many years now. He recently had a flare up and was very sick. Is there anything that I can do to help him feel better while he is going through this. He does not believe in medication at all. I didn't know if there were types of food I could get him, or anything I could actually do for him. I feel helpless and hate to see him in pain. Any suggestions for a very caring friend would be great.

 I'm in the same situation.

That sounds like me, a friend of mine has Crohn's, but he hasn't told anyone, (I learned through his mom) and I don't know if he knows I know. All of the sudden, he lost a lot of weight, and I don't know what I can do to help him. We're in high school, and I don't know if there is anything I can do, or if he would want it, because he didn't tell anyone. Is there anything I can do to help him? He is still scary skinny, but stopped loseing weight.

 As a guy with Crohns
by: Anonymous

It depends on your friend,im fiercly private and only my immediate family know how much ive been through. To every1 else i just say i have crohns and am not well. I do not like people visiting me in hosptial as i feel they feel sorry for me. Some people are open about their crohns,colostomy whereas some prefer some people prefer not to have any help. Im sorry that this dosen't really help. I just suggest asking him what you can do to help

 Crohns aid
by: Peter Bray

Research everything you can about Crohns disease for your friend and join support groups and see what works for other Crohns survivors...some medical support and/or medicines may be necessary---a rock-hard attitude devoid of medicines is about as inappropriate for health as eating rocks for breakfast...e-mail me back at PetrBray@AOL.com and I'll send you my free 12 newspaper columns ("WAR on Crohns") on the subject of Crohns from my 24 years of helping my adult daughter Cathy, 44, now with a looped, temporary ileostomy, taking aloe vera, probiotics, enzyme supplements, immune system enhancers, and NO MORE useless Western Medicines that only suppressed her symptoms while the pathogens ate away at her colon--beware useless immuno-suppressive, mediocre "auto-immune" 1960s thinking--find a real gastroenterologist! They do exist.
