    good news re inflammation and the patch? my "guess" would be TJ compromise...ask your Dr if a biopsy was taken? and if so, status of the protective proteins?...most recent study (with meese) illustrated the n-3PUFA's reduced inflmmation, via these proteins, and thus promoted the closing of the TJ (tight junctions). n-3PUFA (omega 3 fatty acid) or "poly unsaturated fatty acid)..cannot be "oxidized" or will further inflammation. dr will or should know best food/supplementation...my dr suggested fresh mackeral, sardines, non farmed salmon, and or supplemention of epa/dha. good luck...claudio

      He took biopsies to double check but he's pretty sure it's just from the citrofleet, I will ask him on my next appointment next month.
