Probiotic,

You're undoubtedly right about diet being just one component. Even so, I can't help hoping that I'll be free of pain (and all the drugs) one day soon!

Have you tried taking glutamine? This is part of the Eades' recommendation in Protein Power Life Plan. They talk about a 2-step process: eliminating potentially inflaming substances (you know all about that), then providing patients with 20-40 grams of glutamine per day. They say they've "seen patients with IBD of many years' duration experience marked reduction of their symptons with just these two simple steps."

I was thinking of trying it. If you have any experience with it please let me know. I think it's also called L-glutamine.

On another front, I tried a 24 hour fast from last evening through this evening, and had no abdominal pain and joint pain was pretty good as well. I'm shocked by how much energy I had all day! Lots of threads on this forum re Intermittent Fasting, if your'e interested and haven't looked into it already.
