Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of Crohn's disease for which you have undergone 4 resections and now have diarrhea and your Doctor has prescribed you Colestid 1 gm. This medicine helps to control diarrhea and basically given to lower cholesterol. But has this lateral effect.
So take it as advised.
Since Crohn's is a sort of autoimmune disease, if you increase your resistance power and immunity well, you may have better day. Hence you have to try the alternate ways too.
Watch for the diet.
Practically write down what are the things that suit you and which do not.
Follow the diet charts.
Change the lifestyle.
Come out of stress and anxiety and have positive thinking.
This helps a lot in Crohn's
