I don't usually post on the IBS or Crohns boards because I don't have either (I'm elsewhere on curezone), but ran across a study by an MD who uses a plan of two amino acids on a customized schedule, and (drumroll please):

He CURED someone of Crohns's disease in 5 days!

The amino acids he used for the patient are common and easy to buy anywhere BUT it looks like the key is to follow a careful dosing schedule, not to just rush in and take incorrect doses, which can be very different for some people. Here's the link to the study, and at that link if you then click on "download article" button about halfway down that page, you'll find the complete article.

Although I don't have Crohn's, I found this study while researching responses to taking the amino acids Tyrosine and 5htp, having noticed that my response to them can be quite different from my neighbor or friend's responses.

The MD who is studying this interaction, who cowrote this study ( Marty Hinz, MD ) has a website: http://www.neuroassist.com
I have not yet had time to see if he is trying to "sell you a product" on that website though, I sincerely hope not.
