I'm from Brazil, and here medicine on terms of Crohn disease are not very evolved. I was reading and searching alternative treatments, because the most of the conventional treatments, they treat the disease but don't the patient, we still keep felling horrible sintoms, and sometimes we fight for years for remission. I need to find some alternative treatment, if you do any kind of it, please comment below.
I'm really sorry for my English, is not good, but I really need your help, thanks for everything ❤️

I have found nothing as effective as steroids or as now Azathioprine. Once when in the tropics I had a "down" and found green coconut water was a useful extra to the normal meds. Interesting that then, it was from a fresh coconut opened that am. tried the bottled stuff here and no useful affect. I have spent much time working out what in my diet makes things worse, but this is so individual. I wish you luck
I'm sure taste horrible, but I'm gonna try ! Thank you! I heard about a butter that reduces intestinal inflammation,It's an Indian butter, it's called " ghee".
I am searching here in Brazil for some place that sells, I am anxious to use, in the bread, in the food these things.
Sorry for late reply. There is a lot of research on making your gut healthy by increasing the microbiome. You tube The Gut Stuff. They discuss eating fermented foods and vegetables to improve it.
There are lots of you tubers saying how they got ‘cured’ most asking for money for their secret! Think they just got rich during remission! However some great you tubers sharing experience and what they do.
I must confess I bought the books but not 100% tried it. I take probiotics and drink Kefir when I can get hold of it. I tried making the drinks but after the move my grains died. There are lots of gut health books on Amazon as well.
It seems a little mad as the thought of eating lots of vegetables and fermented foods at the moment has little appeal. I am going to give it another go once I’ve settled in my new house.
I tried CBD oil during my last flare up. My bones were so painful and I felt rotten. Not sure if it worked or was placebo effect. I just wanted to try.
In India they use Aveyaduic medicine all based from plants. Many swear by turmeric as an inflammatory. I tried the tea but preferred using it in cooking. You only need a couple of centimetres chopped at the most.
I tried treatment from an aveyaduc doctor but I went into decline and stopped.
I find certain foods or even certain vitamins are just a no. So I eliminate them and try others. Let me know how you get on.
Whilst trying alternatives just be careful. You don’t want anything that could upset you more. Take care and good luck.
I had Crohn’s disease and it has been a hard time trying to get medicine to fix or remove it.
I have tried several medicines and steroids were the first stuff I’ve used for several years but
steroids have side effects and it changes the face and causes weight problems. I have also taken ami-nosalicylates pills, suppositories, etc. but these are less effective.
The ones that have the best for relief and alleviating the symptoms are the antiinflammation drugs Humira and REmicade,
However these medicines are expensive, I used them for a while but not really able to afford them
And honestly only people with more financial means can afford them.
But I still had Crohns and it was affecting my health which was also affecting my whole life.
Then some people were suggesting helminth therapy and I was seriously thinking that it would
Be a possibility. But I read about people who had worms or their eggs in delicate parts of the body.
For example, there was a story of a worm or its body part in the brain and another about eggs of the worm found in muscle or other tissues, really, reading about these made me sick or negative feeling.
To suffer is bad and suffer from Crohns where our digestive organs are affected , losing weight and
Nutrition was a problem but it was not the food, our own bodies did not get along with foods
And it was immune something that was the cause.
But one time, I came to info about Immune adjustments and suddenly I said to myself, this may be just what I have been looking for.
First of all, it was a way to get into controlling the immune system and was based on Science discoveries and new technical stuff.
It is a little known discovery and not known info because when it started it was successful in
animals but not on humans. So this thing seemed to start but end since the humans success was
not possible.
But then going forward in time, one company claimed to achieve success and that was what I was reading about.
But the success was a new possibility & discovery by researcher Matzinger and that was the lead that continued to success. Her lead was possible but at that point it was not from modern medicine but from herb and then a combination of herbs.
Anyway, I looked at the cost and it was affordable, not only affordable but it was not even expensive
But I did go for this therapy and it worked.
I am surprised that there are not many stories about success regarding Crohns disease but I am stating here that my situation is a success story and if the story I write here is not convicncing enough, people should at least read the full info at the site because it is based on science and medical journals and it makes sense.
Lastly, the herbs actually are the new ingredients that made the quantum leap to success.
I had to try this , why ? because there was no other alternative left but I’m glad I made the decision
