what does "doing it my way" in this context mean? What did you try and how did you research it?

Have looked into this kind of thing myself before and am interested in how you went about your project and if there's a community around that kind of thing.

Their way == Prednazone, Asacol / 6MP

My Way = Macrobiotics, Stress Control, Acupuncture etc...

Yes, there are many communities; I mostly used trial and error but the difference is how I measured what worked. I kept a food diary that allowed me use actual nutrient stats etc... to find patterns in my trigger foods.

I'm very glad this worked for you. I don't have Crohn's, but I also have an auto immune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. For many immune conditions there seems to be an environmental trigger, or something that makes it worse. There is quite abit of research that many of our conditions are caused by interactions with the bacteria in our gut and our immune response to certain food. I saw your other posts about working on tools to help people track these things, I commend you. There is a large body of people who could potentially benefit from this work. Not just people with Crohn's, but many autoimmune conditions. Keep on trucking and I wish you luck.
