    Exercise causing me to flare-like symptoms...help!

    Exercise seems to make my symptoms worst. Immediately after exercise, I get sinus congestion and cold like symptoms. My Crohn's seems to be in the small intestine and I've had these symptoms for over a decade. When I do not exercise, my symptoms seem contained. My experience seems rare and...

    Antifungals and Crohn's

    Hi @kiny; I've noticed I've experienced sudden improvements in my Crohn's during times I took a parasite cleanse and/or taken antifungal. Do you think it's food related causing this fungal response? I don't know much about Crohn's. I just know what tends to make me feel better and doesn't.

    Antifungals and Crohn's

    My doctor says I "likely have mild Crohn's, but can not prove it". But, I've taken Diflucan (antifungal) and I have also done a natural antifungals and have felt better after. Although, this has not been 100% of the time. Just my $0.02.

    Food Additive

    This is a new person question, but what's the difference between processed foods and ultra-processed? Like what would a good example be.

    2 Nurse Dietician's telling me that I can have alcohol & coffee in moderation

    I was recently, "tentatively" diagnosed with Crohn's in August of 2021. I've had odd symptoms for a decade. So, since then, I've cut back on any beer greatly as I'm learning about the cause it can have on my gut. Joys of life!

    Thinking about Crohn's wrong has set patients back decades

    Wow - I am reading up on these. That link looks very interesting. I was aware that Paleo's diet was helpful (due to reading on this forum), but I'm not familiar with the CDED, EED. I'll take a peek. Thank you!

    Thinking about Crohn's wrong has set patients back decades

    @Pangolin Thanks - I've done some elimination diets but nothing really stood out. For me, finding key foods that trouble me are tough. Ugh.

    Thinking about Crohn's wrong has set patients back decades

    Do people suspect Crohn's could be driven by a food sensitivity or allergy causing the immune response? Just curious as I'm newer to the forums and Crohn's.

    2 Nurse Dietician's telling me that I can have alcohol & coffee in moderation

    @Pinecone7288 Hi Pinecone. I don't have a good response for you. My instinct is that others will say in general alcohol & caffeine are on the naughty list. But, I suspect the more experienced members will say to experiment with yourself and see if you can determine whether moderation is okay...

    My Next Steps | Asking for feedback?

    Hi All, I'm 39 Male, recently tentatively diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I've had this for a decade, but feeling pretty yucky as of late. My Pentasa seems to assist my anxiety levels but I'm still not getting much results, yet. I want to keep testing things to help. I'm wanting to take...
