(((Chemar))) Thank you so much. I will go to Borders and get a copy for myself.

I really use to be a health freak in my youth. I'm beginning to think if I hadn't I wouldn't even be here now!

I will try those things and thank you again so much!

I'm sorry your son goes through this. My cousin died from Crohn's about 20 years ago, right around the time my sister died. But she had been avoiding getting help.

It was at the holidays and she was a cook/hostess extrordinaire. The doctors urged her to admit to the hospital because her crohns was in a horrible place. She said no, not until after the holidays.

By the time they checked her in she had rampant infection that they couldn't get under control and she died.

I also have a friend in California who has it and has done pretty well. Crohns is SO nasty.

When both Crohns and UC are at their absolute worst, they affect your entire digestive system. My prayers for you and your son.
