Hi all, hope this is the correct area to be posting as a newbee to the group, I signed up after speaking to Dr Scott Yesterday.

I have recently been diagnosed with Crohns Disease and i wanted to see if any one has any advice or previous articles that may help me to get an understanding of any herbal supplements that i can incorporate into my lifestyle to minimise flare ups and overall help me maintain a normal functioning body while still pursuing bodybuilding.

Thanks in advance all

I've seen some people with Crohn's have success with a ketogenic diet (my understanding is the reduction on inflammatory markers reduces flare ups). I personally use and rep an exogenous Ketone brand, but there are several avenues and options out there, however the exogenous ketones are NOT a substitute for the carb restriction (which is what really reduces the inflammatory markers and reduces reactive oxygen species).

Here's a quick link I found on a google search, though the citations are lacking (Sorry Doc!), but it has a good summary of what I've heard on how this helps with Crohn's from what I've gleaned from various podcasts and seminars.

I hope this helps if this is a viable option for you!
