I'm on Humira that has worked quite well post-op for the past 2+ years.

Something else I added to my daily regimen was turmeric/ginger tea once a day it has helped a lot naturally with some of my digestive issues...again this along with prescribed medication.
Thanks for the advice. I just started it last night and am fearing the worst yet hoping my worries prove unfounded.

Is the turmeric ginger tea something you simply make at home using fresh roots? I'm sure that'd be better than tea bags, but I thought I'd ask.

Sorry to hear about the Crohn's. Pretty sure Ulcerative Colitis is like Crohn's lite and can only imagine how it's affected your life.
