The Mayo Clinic says it's known for its treatment of Crohn's, maybe they have some ideas?

My sister has Crohn's. It seems to come and go in waves. She is 55 and has had it since she was 13, so it's manageable, I guess, but the down times seem to be really, really down.

I hope you find some answers. You're sweet to be so worried about your sis.

My daughter in law has Crohn's. She is 38. I'm not sure what all she takes but I know she is on some meds. I think she is more into herbs than the "hard stuff".

I know the Crohn's has been difficult on her. She has had several secondary problems the doctors all relate back to the Crohn's. But she does have her good times too.

I really don't have any suggestions, sorry. Wish I could help because I know it is very difficult to deal with.
