[RBS] Advice on Crohns disease and medications

[yechiel lewis]

I recall that there is an organization in Bnei Brak that offers special meals that alleviate the symptoms.
They say that with correct diet, the symptoms can virtually be removed.
That's what I recall, but you need to research more.

here's what I found...

Annual Crohn's Disease Conference in Bnei Brak
by N. Katzin
HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein, rov of Ramat Elchonon, was on 
hand at the annual conference of Ezra Umozor, an organization 
for Crohn's disease sufferers, in Bnei Brak and hundreds of 
members arrived from around the country.

Ezra Umozor helps patients design special diets to help 
alleviate their problems. The organization says a large 
portion of those treated recover completely and are no longer 
in need of drug treatment and others see dramatic improvement 
in their condition.

Prof. Yaakov Shoham, a ranking physician and lecturer at Bar- 
Ilan University, discussed how HaKodosh Boruch Hu 
provided the human body a fabulous ability to remedy itself. 
HaRav Zilberstein, who serves as the organization's halachic 
advisor, spoke about the healing power of Torah, 
bitochon and the mitzvah of following a proper 
diet.


The height of the conference was a public recitation of 
Nishmas Kol Chai to thank HaKodosh Boruch Hu 
for the recovery sent to many of the participants followed by 
a seudas hodo'oh based on the principles of the 
prescribed diet. Later HaRav Aharon Yehuda Shteinman made an 
appearance, offering encouragement and support for the 

organization.

A friend of ours has a 13 year old son who was diagnosed with Crohns disease recently. They are looking for people who'd be interested in sharing their experiences in dealing with Chrohns.
 
Thank you,
Leah
