Crohn's patient needs some help
Just for an unexpected update:
In the past I have noticed after eating something with garlic I tended to feel better. However, I never really thought it was garlic helping me because while working for Domino's for about 3 years, I frequently ate pizza and cheesy bread covered heavily with garlic, (I love the stuff). Anyway, I just always thought I was lucky to be able to eat that type of food and not have severe stomach problems, (cheese is usually a no-no), but I am now convinced I was doing so well because I was frequently eating garlic.
I just tested this theory out today by buying some garlic supplements. I really wasn't expecting much, but I swear this shit seems to work better at quickly relieving stomach pain than marijuana EVER did! I don't know how well it will work for long term use, but all I know is I took a capsule earlier in the day and I was feeling great. Started having cramps again towards the night, took another, and literally within about 10 minutes my stomach stopped cramping up. (2 pills a day is the recommendation)
I did a little quick research on garlic and Crohn's, and I kinda got sidetracked because that search took me to a page talking about SCD, or "Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Basically, it's some sort of popular diet for people who need a diet change.
I was wondering if anybody else knows anything about that or has even heard of SCD?
As for the garlic supplements, if you are going to try this I hope you like garlic. The box says it has "virtually no garlic odor", but that is laughable, lol. You can clearly taste the garlic once you put the pill in your mouth, after you swallow it you can taste it envelope your stomach and throat. It feels as if you just swallowed a piece of garlic whole. I can also feel it through my skin, the box claims it won't make you smell like garlic, but I haven't yet tested this out in the public, and to be honest, might want to test it on an understanding friend or family member before seeing if random strangers can smell it, lol.
