I was diagnosed about 10 years ago and
have been on alot of the meds and have
also totally changed my lifestyle, going
vegetarian, and even then I was limited
with the veggies I could eat. I tried
taking vitamins and supplements and didn't
feel anything and some of the vitamins
made me sick. I found a company called
pharmanex that developed a new technology
that scans the body for antioxidant
levels. I was interested in what my
level would be since my body doesn't
absorb any nutrients and I wasn't
surprised when my scan came back super
low. I started taking some vitamins
scientifially formulated by the company to
be absorbed at the molecular level and
they also include the omega3 mentioned
elsewhere on this site for relief with
crohn's. My wife and I have both noticed
an increase in my energy, my stomach
doesn't hurt, and i'm spending less time
in the bathroom (which means i'm getting
less reading done!). I would recommend
getting scanned to anyone, especially
those with crohn's, to get a feel for
where you are at. Antioxidants have been
proven to help with a variety of ailments.
I can help you find somewhere to get
scanned if you are interested. Just
e-mail me.

My Boyfriend Has Had Crohns For 3 Years Posted: 10-03-06 18:54pm
My boyfriend is 26 and has crohns and is
not getting treatment because we lost our
insurance after he got let go from work
for being out sick from this disease too
often and we cant get insurance on a pre
existing condition and do not want to go
back to kaiser as they are not doing
anything about the situation. So any
advice or info or even the supplements you
are taking for this is very helpful, thank
you

i'm curious to know in a case like this.
If say this lady has medical insurance
where she can add him, would that
insurance cover his pre-existing
condition? Or it can be denied as well?
I guess this person can go to to this
clinical research studies or pledge the
company for the meds? Can this person get
medicaid?
