Has anyone tried this with success? My mother-in-law gave me a newspaper article that said if you eat 2 Archway Coconut Macaroons daily, it could help your Crohn's pain and inflammation. I'm going to try it starting today, although the article says that it doesn't work for everyone. Right now I am desperate for anything that will give me some relief. I actually hate coconut, but I think of it as medicine--better than swallowing pills!!!! What do you all think?

I can't do sweets and gluten with my Crohn's so I don't think it would work for me but it's a pretty good option to try. Who doesn't like to eat a sweet every once and a while especially if it does work. I will have to look up that article on the internet to read it it seems quite fascinating. You will have to let us know if it works for you if you do try it. Good luck and hope you find some relief with it.

Well, I tried this for the first time on Wednesday. They tasted really good!! Unfortunately, either the 2 cookies did not agree with me, or my colon just happened to flare up. I was up all night with terrible pain and nausea. Yesterday was a bit better, and today is OK. I'm still trying to decide if I want to try it again....
