Lifeway Kefir is 99% lactose free. And also Gluten free, and
uses non hormone, bovine growth hormone, milk.

The unflavored one contains only the natural content of milk for carbohydrates. The flavored ones have some sugars from the fruit used to flavor them.

Chronic diarrhea, depletes magnesium and potassium and sodium. Magnesium supplements orally may make diarrhea worse, so topical instead is a good idea.

Doing electrolyte replacement at home is spotty at best and difficult. Get the diarrhea under control and the electrolytes usually come around.
Imodium or RX Lomotil may help. But the Metamucil is very effective for this.

Some people use slippery elm to calm inflammation.

If you Google slippery elm Crohn's you will find more than appears on PubMed.
