Supplementary Material for: Curcumin-QingDai Combination as Treatment for Crohn's Disease Case Report

Curcumin and QingDai (QD, indigo) are two herbal extracts used in traditional medicine. A combination of curcumin with QD (CurQD) was reported to be effective in ulcerative colitis but its effectiveness in Crohn’s disease (CD) is unknown. We report on the use of CurQD for the treatment of CD. The patient was a 35-year-old male with colonic and perianal CD responsive to Infliximab therapy, who had to discontinue therapy due to a concomitant cardiomyopathy diagnosis. After cessation of Infliximab treatment he experienced clinical and endoscopic relapse which responded to initiation of CurQD therapy with regained clinical and endoscopic remission.
