About Crohn's Disease

About Ulcerative Colitis

The new look CCSG Web Pages have been a long time coming but we hope you like them. Other events (such as trying to get some grant money) has left little time for updating this web site. Now with funding secure for the next 12 months updates will be more regular and the Epal page will be made more user-friendly. Look out for more changes and additions in the coming months.

The E-pals Page has been reorganised and streamlined. Check the contents list to find new E-pals. There are five new entries since the last update.

Two new articles have been posted to the "Notes from Public Meetings" section of the CCSG Newsletter page. First, Auckland Hospital gastroenterologist Dr Mark Lane Discusses IBD, and then from the last meeting of 1998 we report about the Facts & Fiction about Diet and IBD.

Also posted to the CCSG Newsletter Page is part 1 of the summarised results from a questionnaire sent out to CCSG members. This report looks at Alternative Therapies used by CCSG Members. Check out all the different options available and if they suceeded.

The CCSG has made three new additions to its library. Talk About Crohn's is a video produced by the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease in the UK. It is especially for young people and teenagers and looks at the effect Crohn's disease has had on their lives so far. In contrast, Breaking the Vicious Cycle is a revised edition of Food and the Gut Reaction and comes with a companion video where the author Elaine Gottschall talks about the origins of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Also talking is a woman who claims that the SCD has "cured" her Crohn's.
