Reddit mentions of The Colon Health Handbook: New Health Through Colon Rejuvenation

Ive only been diagnosed for a year and a half. Once I hit remission I tried many things when my poop is less then ideal or I have odd cramps or minor bloating.

Rooibos, peppermint, or ginger tea.
I read that a lady who had crohns for 25 years found that peppermint essential oil (1 drop) in her tea drastically reduced her symptoms. So I use that in my morning tea.
When my poop is soupy. I found psyllium husk made it more firm and friendly on my bottom.
However the best thing for me by far is bentonite clay. I mix a tbsp with my psyllium husk on an empty stomach once a day. Havnt had to be on medication since. However some have said that it could be potentially be harmful, but after using it I can go to the gym, trust my farts to be farts, work a normal job and be pretty much symptom free.

Also diet. Dairy, wheat, and most meat can be irritating on the gi tract. Try hemp seeds and other grinded seeds as an easy to digest form of protein. Home made hummus is always nice, dried fruits as a snack, and ive read that fruit in any form should only be eaten as a snack because the fructose can make other foods when eaten together hard to digest.
Home made soup stock is delightful and nutrious for you. Take the bones and simmer for up to a day. You want the bones to crumble before you use the stock for a soup. Add water as you see fit. Sometimes I take a cup of the stock and drink it like a tea, the fat in the stock is an easy to digest form of energy thats also soothing for the gut.

While I havnt tried. I hear manuka honey helps, and congee. Ive also read that everyone is sensitive to different foods. See a naturalpath doctor or a nutritionist to see what those may be could be helpful.

In more of my readings, ive learned that keeping your lymphatic system clean and clear can make it easier on your body to keep everything in check and clean. Meaning a skin brush, exer ise, some trampoline exercising, and muco-trypic herbs can help you.

This book has taught me most of what I know and changed my life.

Edit: forgot to mention digestive enzymes. Just recently ive been taking some and ive been having picture worthy poops as of late. This is the particular brand ive been taking.

Edit2: just remembered that marijuana helped numb me to the pain when I had an anal fissure. However ive since learned how to infuse it into an oil (coconut for ingestion or grapeseed for a topical oil) when made successfully, it has been thee best massage oil to help with soar muscles or cramps. As in, I had an intense leg day at the gym and am super soar the next day. Apply oil to affected areas and no more pain within the hour. Plus no relapse. The stuff is amazing. I unfortunately cant take it since im in the military.
