I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 25 years ago. I
have not have major problems which required hospital stays. My episodes manifest as
severe stomach pain which could only be alleviated by laying flat for 30-45 minutes.
I was originally given a medication that I was to take daily -- unfortunately, I was
allergic to it so I just learned to cope without drugs.
Since my first dose of juice, I have not had to lay down with a stomach ache. This is
amazing for me because for about a year, my episodes had been increasing to 4-5 times
a week. I couldn't ride in
the car or sit for any length of time without getting the stomach pain. We had to
buy a SUV with a third seat so that I could lie down when we traveled more than an
hour away from home. Holidays always meant stomach pains. I think it was the
stress/excitement
as much as the food. I also had mouth ulcers very bad, sometimes 6-7 at a time and
they would hurt very badly, and take for ever to go away. Nothing I tried ever
helped, and I tried everything.
Now, I don't have to worry about sitting for any length of time. I don't have to
worry about if I'm going to be able to lie down if my stomach hurts. I have more
energy. I don't get mouth ulcers very often and when I do, they never really hurt and
they go away really fast, especially when I swish the juice on them for awhile.
I can participate fully with my 9 year old son's school activities because my stomach
doesn't hurt any more.
Yes, my life has changed drastically. Thanks for making me think about it again.
I've been on the juice for about 5 months and from the very first drink, I've felt
better. Sometimes, it's easy to forget how much better I feel.
I have had a little pain from time to time, but
very rarely and never where I have had to lie down. I pray that anyone who
has Crohn's will give the juice a real try - at least 3 months - 2-3 oz three
times a day.
Don't give up to quickly. I'm really glad I
tried it and, God willing, I will not be without my juice ever. Good luck and
God bless. |
