Hi,

I have been on stelara and remicade for the longest time since I can remember. I am also taking Vitamin c and d tablets for immunity. It has reduced my symptoms sure, but it has also made me gain 20 pounds and I feel the symptoms are slowing now. Does anyone know any good alternative forms of treatment for Crohn's? I have been so tired in recent weeks, idk if its the medication or the disease. Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

How are you feeling today? :)

Practicing the recommendations of a qualified practitioner is a good way to treat Crohn's disease, but sometimes looking to other unconventional means can bring about positive results too. So I will open this discussion to other members who might be able to answer your question.

@LYNNSanta @Teresabolton @keeppushingon @cronky1! @Sharonlcampbell @Kgurschick @Ali1959 @Bbipromo @Mrycagirl @Brandijo38 @Captain @Susan5412 @Melissap @Chrohnicles @Millerkmm @Auparisi @kodiak @Meemee1203 @Terihart @Jdspencer6 @fairyduster @Paulananthony @toddclay @Crystal02 @duval15 @harrysstyle @Silvia

What were the treatments that worked for you? What alternative forms of medication could you recommend? How badly does Crohn's affect your daily life?

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences here!

Wishing you a great week ahead,
Rahul from the Carenity team

I've been on a similar journey with autoimmune issues, though not Crohn's specifically. I found that incorporating herbal remedies alongside my prescribed treatment helped manage some side effects. For instance, turmeric and aloe vera juice have been part of my routine to reduce inflammation and soothe my gut. Of course, you must consult your doctor before adding anything new.
