Intermittent fasting is supposed to be the answer for your problem, along with the right raw food which you are already on to.
The best help I found for that is here: http://healself.org/
and if it does not heal, you don't have to pay him.

I do appreciate the response, but fasting, what a joke!  Tried that too, and nearly killed myself.  And yes, it was supervised. Maybe INTERMITTENT fasting is different than my 12 day wasted to just about nothing experience, but I don't think fasting is the answer in my case.  In fact, I'd say that the internal pains significantly worsened as the days progressed.  I remember that I could not sleep those 12 days due to abdominal pain and that while I wanted food the first few days I only wanted a dose of any pain relief after that. (This experience was done at the very onset of symptoms, trying to avoid a relapse, so no medications or anything.) I think it may be a good 'jump start' to fat burning that can  help people provided they then assume a proper diet on to weight loss and the elimination of the many secondary diseases associated with that. But even then, I'd guesstimate 2 days tops.

Ioanna- thanks and sounds like you're in the right place and headed in the right direction. If you're willing, I would like to hear your journey. Do you have a journal?

I know I'm new here and I really don't mean to be shooting down the responses that really I am so appreciative of. I've been lurking long enough to have overcome my hesitancy to post in the realization that everyone here has something intelligent to say.  Honestly, I'd say there's a part of me hoping someone may have some experience or knowledge that I haven't considered yet.  Maybe Ioanna is on to something with the amalgam.  I hadn't considered that at all, only food toxins. Just want to be honest with where I've been so I can finally get on the right path.  Maybe I am finally getting there and just need to be patient or maybe I need to start interacting with people more so I can learn to find out where I need to go next.

Hey, my name's Jayce.  I'm new here, but I've been into raw paleo for over 6 months now.  Started with primal (AV)
, now I'm mostly meat and fat though.  I've had Chrohn's disease for about 10 years... I'm 36.  It comes and goes, but everytime I have a relapse it gets worse and worse.  Right now I'm taking medications that I'd rather not, but if I don't take them I will have uncontrollable vomitting, diarrhea, and blood loss that I will be hospitalized too frequently... so I've surrendered to the pharmaceuticals.  I've read so much on nutrition and Crohn's, and now here I see people have improved with raw paleo who have ahd similar symptoms.  The weird thing is that breads and cheese never seemed to make me worse.  I gave up gluten and dairy about ten years ago, but if I eat bread I definitely don't suffer for it, I just let it go because of all I've read about it and bowel diseases.  I got tested for about 50 food allergies and don't have any at all.  Strangely, I think I actually feel better when I eat breads too.  I'm having a relapse now... eating raw beef and fat... feels good on other levels, but my colon is not good with it. I was doing okay with the meds, I went strict raw meat and fat, and the next day blood just poored through me.  I'm tempted to eat some bread jsust because I think it will alleviate the symptoms, but I odn't really think it is a healthy thing to do. Makes me think eating bread slows some elimination process down while eating meat and fat maybe does the opposite?  Could food sensitivities not be my problem and there's some other culprit to deal with?

I don't really like making this public, but I'm at my wits ends trying to beat this disease. Anyone have a similar experience or anything to offer that I may get through this without surgery... anything!

Thanks all
Jayce
