Key pieces to my health over the past 2 years

After recovering from surgery, two years ago, I have been trying to figure out a successful diet and way of life to keep me healthy. While I was going through this, we moved back to Minnesota and my Crohn's started acting up again. The first important thing I did was get into see one of the best doctors for Crohns at the Mayo Clinic. She has been key for me getting onto the medication I need and staying on top of my blood levels and tests. Next, I also met with a nurse at our natural food store. She sat down with me and gave me some insight on how to approach this disease naturally. One of the biggest benefits I received from meeting with her was her advice on taking L-Glutemine. For anyone that has had to take prednisone, you will appreciate this...this drug acts like a natural prednisone and brings down inflammation. This drug has proven to be a must for me daily. I can tell when I don't take it. I have to say that when I introduce anything new into my body, I run it by my doctor first. My diet has also played a major role in how I feel as well as exercise. I think these 4 things have been a big factor in my success over the last 2 years. I plan on going into more detail on all of this in the near future.
