About this blog

This blog examines current ideas on alternative treatments for Crohn's disease. Although the medical community will tell you that diet doesn't matter, or that alternative treatments are worthless for treating Crohn's disease, this is only because there hasn't been as much double blind clinical testing for most alternative treatments. Therefore they cannot with certainty offer them to you. But, the truth is, many treatments can have an effect on Crohn's disease, or at least improve your general health. We attempt to examine them here.

Metagenics CandiBactin AR and BR Stops Rectal Bleeding





Because we know that SIBO and dysbiosis are a part of Crohn's disease, it makes sense to attempt to eliminate any bacteria in the small intestine. Dr. Allison Siebecker is a foremost authority on SIBO, and has created a great website on the subject:

On the following page, she outlines an herbal protocol for overcoming SIBO in the small intestine:

We have one family member with Crohn's disease that has tried taking Candibactin AR and BR from this protocol. This person was diagnosed with proctitis, and experienced rectal bleeding on a daily basis. They found that the Candibactin products were very powerful in inducing die-off reactions, and they experienced a tremendous amount of increased diarrhea, nausea and pain while on it. They are going up on the dosage slowly, and over the time period of two years, have only made it up to one third of the dose. However, at this point this person's rectal bleeding has receded and has been gone for about a year.

Crohn's disease is notorious for having flares and remissions, however, this person has had Crohn's disease for ten years and has experienced steadily increasing disease until trying this protocol.

It makes me wonder how many more people would benefit from this type of treatment. Also, this treatment is one of the steps listed in Jini Patel Thompson's eight step protocol on her website.
