I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a safe detox diet because I want to get rid of some of these toxins from the medications that I was taking.

I wouldn't try anything like that, it could be dangerous to your system! The toxins will leave your body in time. I know it takes one year for meds used to put a person to sleep for surgery and such to leave your body. you would have to drink something harsh and that would not be good for your crohns and could cause a flare up, be careful, hugs...Marcie

I have ulcerative colitis... I probably should have specified that. I am certain that a light detox would be safe for me considering most of my problems lie in my large intestine... and thats what it would be helping.

Honestly, I would recommend that you go to a local healthfood store and speak with someone there. However, be careful about who you talk to...I have found that the owners of the stores are generally pretty knowledgeable.

They know alot of information about their products and sometimes know alot of info about diseases.

They can also help you figure out what literature you may want to read on the subject.

Good Luck...let me know what you find!

I know of a great health food/natural homeopathic here in Jax that can help you. Also, I have read that cranberry juice (unsweetened, not the cocktail) is a good place to start.
