.. my daughter has chrohns - i know others have it too on here as it has been discussed - she is so tired of taking drugs that she has been trying other remedies - simple things like ginger and peppermint tea - and it has relieved the symptoms a little - the latest thing she is about to try is turmeric and black peppercorns - these apparently help with inflammation - she isnt just trying willy nilly and is on forums and such - really looks into it etc - just wondered if any others had tried this - she would love to be able to reduce the asacol she takes and if this works hopefully she will |

"Is it Crohns where they are starting to use faecal transplants?"
Yep, it repairs the gut flora. Sadly, there's not enough evidence to support it so finding a doctor willing to try it may be difficult. It's had some great success stories, some patients are in remission after the therapy. |

 will look it up - the docs tell you all the options - the asacol works but has to take silly amounts when shes bad so the humira is stronger might be better - just going through all the cameras everywhere again to see whats what - hate this for her shes had it since she was 12 fully blown  |

Not all health authorities will authorise it at approximately £300 per jab - you might have to hassle your specialist consultant a bit. |

"there are others but unfortunately illegal"
If you're talking about CBD oil, there are moves afoot to make it legal for individuals to buy from recommended overseas suppliers  |
