Pregnancy

I have been suffering from Crohns for about 2-3 years now. My treatment is methotrexate- so first question anybody else treated with this, how has it worked for you & how long did remission take & has it lasted? Second question relating to pregnancy.. How do women cope with this during pregnancy, did it flare up during or after & were there complications?

P.S.  He had to take food-based vitamins/minerals.  Calcium and magnesium, Flax Seed Oil (for his omega's).  She recommended CoQ10 but he couldn't afford it at the time.

I had a friend that had Crohns so bad he was going to another state for steroid treatments and was dying.  He went to a nutritionalist who put him on a diet for 6 weeks eating nothing but raw fruits/veg, brown rice, fish, chicken (no hormones), plenty of spring water, and he could not eat any other processed foods.  He took aloe to help with inflammation and pysillium husk (from health food store) to help with diarreaha.  He was also told to relax all his muscles throughout the day.
When in a relaxed state, start Visualizing his body to heal, visualizing his colon healthy.  After this 6 week process, he no longer had Crohn's!  I wouldn't of believed it unless I saw it and I saw it!
