    CRP in Outpatients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is Linked to the Blood Microbiota

    Btw I think what Kiny says makes a lot of sense, but I recently found this study that basically says chronic inactive gastritis is almost universal in Crohns patients: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-21630-5 They also noticed a curious phenomenon, about h pylori being much less...

    CRP in Outpatients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is Linked to the Blood Microbiota

    When I read articles like this, I always wonder what it means for me. In my case CRP was never elevated and I do seem to have a mild disease of the ileum so far, that very clearly reacts to the food I consume. But my calpro at a certain point was as high as 1200 (actually after taking Modulen...

    Not IBD at First, Now it is IBD

    @djgeeks and of course in your case, there might be some partial obstruction going on which has its own dietary requirements - what did your scan results indicate in this regard? I am confused by not being able to do colonoscopy due to pain, are they giving you proper sedation for it? Maybe the...

    Not IBD at First, Now it is IBD

    Hi @djgeeks ! What you have described to me sounds very very typical for Crohn's. Definetly do the tests, and listen to your doctors, but it doesn't sound like cancer at all. While you are waiting for a biologic, there are many things you can do for yourself that helped me and many folks here...

    Our Journey So Far SCD CDED Experiences

    hi @Pam.estella ! I was diagnosed in December 2022, with ileal Crohn's that was deemed "mild", my symptoms mostly being 4-5 times liquid-ish diarrhea and sometimes weird abdominal pains. But I have very loose stools for more than 10 years that was never investigated in depth, was just deemed...

    High stelara levels but feel worse then ever

    You should definetly look into diets like CDED and SCD and IBD-AID and starting to do a food journal and monitor symptoms - all of this of course should ideally be supported by continued monitoring tests and a dietatian. I had great results with diet changes personally and I know quite a few...

    Can you eat any food once you get in remission?

    I had similar symptoms as you OP, when diagnosed last December, they determined I have fairly mild Crohn’s in my terminal ileum. Was encouraged to go on steroids and try biologics, but instead I decided to give diet a try. I failed miserably on enteral nutrition, which usually brings relief to...

    Food antigen-induced immune responses in Crohn’s disease patients and experimental colitis

    This is a very curious study. I will soon do an IgG allergy test myself, and share results here in case anyone is interested. I seem to react severely to specific foods, my histamine is sometimes sky high, and my cationic eosinophil protein is also significantly elevated - but all my IgE...

    Desperately waiting for Crohn's treatment

    There is definetly a lot your nephew could do while waiting to be admitted to the IBD center. I am in a similar situation myself, and have gone pain, and practically symptom free by strictly following dietary approaches. There are many that he could try, ideally with a support with a dietetian...

    Transforming growth factors and EN.

    I was very determined to make EN work, I had a mild case of terminal ileitis recently diagnosed as Crohn's, however immediately as I switched to Modulen 100%, really liked the taste, but I started experiencing bad stomach cramps along with diarrhea 4-5x a day. After a week of soldiering through...

    EEN support and advice needed

    Thx, have just ordered Elemental 028 to see if that helps, thats actually available here. Do you think there is a good chance this is caused by intact proteins rather than something else in the formula? I kind of wondered that myself because I thought its mostly for people with severely impacted...

    EEN support and advice needed

    Hi Everyone! TLDR: I have ileal CD but do not seem to be able to tolerate the EEN formulas available in Europe, and would like to give Kate Farms a chance, but they do not ship to Europe. I would like to ask if someone in the US could help me - either by recommending a company to whom I could...
