I suffered for years (started at about 33 years old) with Crohn's Disease, even had 2 surgeries from it- in 2004 I was on the verge of getting a colonostomy and then God sent me my gastro dr. I was his first patient in out town, the crohns has been in recession since then, all he did was change my diet! No red meat- eat broccoli to get my iron, whole grains, he said also"if its white ,don't eat it! It feels good not to suffer in pain all the time. weighted 103 at the time- with age,I have gained way too much weight, but def in better health.I'm 66 years old now and lovin life again!
