For those who found help with diet changes, especially Paddison Program
I have inflammatory arthritis from Crohn's and am interested in people who have found help through dietary changes. I've tried many diets: Specific Carbohydrate, Paleo, AIP (auto-immune paleo), Low Starch Diet, McDougall, enteral nutrition and water fasting. I did find some relief from water fasting,

My sister is still in hospital. She had a caecostomy as opposed to a colostomy or illeostomy. I can find very little information in caecostomies other than they are considered palliative.

How Chromium Works
Chromium was declared an essential nutrient in 1977 after significant elevations in blood sugar levels were first observed in a hospitalized patient receiving total
parenteral
nutrition
devoid of chromium (Food & Nutrition Board, 2001; Jeejeebhoy et al, 1977).

I'm looking for suggestions for high calorie meal replacements for my mum with partial obstruction. Would really appreciate some advice.
Bit of background - my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian in March 2015. in the last two months she has had partial intestinal obstruction, and the avastin she was on doesn't seem to be working. She may be starting a different chemo soon, however at the moment she has been in and out of hospital
