Complementary and Alternative Medicine
August 18, 2009The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America recently posted an updated guide on complementary and alternative medicine, outlining many of the practices people with IBD sometimes engage in as a way of keeping their disease in remission. The guide is available here for download.
The guide is short and just gives a brief overview of the options available. It doesn’t go into any detail of how to actually engage in these treatments; that’d take some more research on your part if you are actually interested in this sort of thing. I, myself, never tried any of these techniques as I didn’t know about them. Most of these practices haven’t been studied the same way medicines are studied, so positive results for one person does not necessarily imply positive results for everybody.
Question: Have you tried any complementary or alternative medicine and if so, did it work for you? Reply to this post.
