I've read through a lot of the posts (not very fond of yahoo
groups!) but I've found some great information here.

I'm the father of an 11, almost 12, year old girl who has been
diagnosed with Cronhs, currently on Asacol, although she still has
nausa and diarreah, we're going to the dr next week to see about
putting her on mp6.

As a very scared father, who stil doesn't understand all of the
terms I was wondering if some one could provide a few answers, or at
least point me in the right direction, as the doctors that I've
spoken to so far have been very generic in their reponses.

As far as I can tell it's very hard to work out what, if anything
will trigger a chrons attack (by that I mean
nausa/vommitimng/diahara), but once it's started certain things can
be done to make life easier.

Do OTC enzymes really do any good (latcaid and others)?

Does diet make a major differnece when an episode occurs ?

Will keeping a "food diary" help in finding any trigger points to an
episode?

Are emotional triggers (i.e. high stress) that important, or will it
just go in cycles?

I'm so sorry to be vague in my questions, which I'm sure have been
answered many times. I'm just trying to find solutions that I
can "sell" to my daughter that sound like that they might help, if
only a bit, and to my self!

Many thanks

Richard
