ACG Turns a Blind Eye to Mycobacterial Therapy in Crohn’s Disease

ACG Turns a Blind Eye to Mycobacterial Therapy in Crohn’s Disease

The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recently released the 2018 Guidelines for the treatment of Crohn’s Disease (CD). Such guidelines can profoundly influence how practitioners treat CD and how younger physicians perceive CD pathophysiology. It is therefore intensely disappointing to read the ACG’s mistaken and blatantly unsupported conclusions in regard to mycobacteria and Atypical Mycobacterial Antibiotic Therapy (AMAT) for CD.

Until recently the link between diet, gut bacteria and disease had been ignored by mainstream medicine. Only in the last decade, as the human microbiome took center stage in scientific research and attention to diet therapies began to grow, the SCD gained the attention of the medical community. Lately it has been investigated in multiple studies as a legitimate medical option for managing disease.

Krista – Crashing MAP’s party with RMAT

When I was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease six years ago, I was ignorant to the extent to which it would change my life. It altered all plans I had meticulously pieced together for a cohesive and creative existence within the world. The continual road of ups and downs not only affected me, they impacted my family, finances, and career. I knew people with UC/CD before I was diagnosed, yet had no idea of the daily struggles they faced, from immense pain and fatigue to brain fog to how your life stops when you have a flare. I lost my independence, financial nest egg, numerous jobs, relationships, and eventually myself.
