Moldie; gosh you do turn up some interesting things.I know people sometimes question the relevance of articles and links that I post, but I believe an open minded broad based overview is necessary in dealing with this darn thing.Oddly, the more research I do, the more I'm convinced that one base thing, is the root cause of all these different diseases and conditions.Why do most autoimmune disorders, seem to be treatable with a gluten free diet, and why does Vitamin D (fish oil) in the form of Cod Liver Oil, seem to slow the progression of all these things.imho Same Cure = Same SourceGenetics is probably a secondary factor in determining who will get autism, bipolar disorder, lupus, ms, etc.etc.I have often wondered if my shyness, feeling out of step with society, rebelliousness, was some sort of mild form of autism.My advice to the readership, is to not have a narrow view focusing only on IBS or IBD, but to research the wide range of autoimmune disorders.What works for one, will probably work for another.If you go to other web sites (about other conditions), you'll probably find people talking about the same herbs and vitamin supplements that we use here.So I visited the post that you made Moldie, and came across "Necrotizing Enterocolitis", a word I had never run across before.I used the ABOUT.COM search engine (the sponsor of Jeff's board, and an excellent search engine) to track down more information about it. This is what came back...Necrotizing Enterocolitis

The incredibly simple idea of a "one size fits all" causative agent will be derided as to upsetting to the status quo of the industry, which seems to be more interested in treating symptoms, rather than find a solution or cure.
