The background stress for me is what affects me more. Currently having some issues and trying to lower stress. Things that I know work are: Hiking with my dog (difficult to do when flairing tho) Netflix Adult coloring book (new to this & thought it was kinda silly till I tried it). Just having...

That's what I have been feeling like. I am. Basically down to meat and salad stuff. Even that is dodgy at times. Just wondering when I will decrease to where I only eat one food. Just feel frustrated. Thanks for the support

Currently watching the Christmas cooking specials on food network. Ughhh.... I have got to find a new channel lol

My mini vent.. I feel hungry, but eating is not a good idea right now. Brain understands this, colon understands this.... stomach does not! Also why when you feel like this is every add on TV for food? IDK??? 😜

I have had Crohns now for 20+ years. It seems every few years I have to move a "safe food" into the "cause me issues group". An example would be potatoes, they were always one of my first go to foods when I had some issues. After not eating them during the summer and now eating them, they just...

Welcome, sorry you are having a rough time. There are specific threads on here that talk about different treatments. It might be worth reading through the one on the meds your dr wants to put you on. Also feel free to ask questions, you will get honest answers based on everyone's experience...

I went through college with crohns and it can be difficult and frustrating all at the same time. Glad you got your blood work done. Some good suggestions have been posted so far. This may not even be a possibility, but what is your class load like? I know we are in the middle of a semester, but...

Options.... ( I say all this jokingly) this is a list of my standard replies to my group.... 1) tell family fridg e has not moved, it's the big white thing in kitchen. Most off the time food is in there, knock themselves out!! 2) McDonald's is down the road. Help yourself. 3) I make what I can...

It sounds like you have had a lot going on lately. You did the right thing by seeing you dr and explaining all the recent changes in your bowel pattern. I think the best thing to do would be to go to your appt in November. There are some apps that you can use to monitor your eating habits and...

I make quick oatmeal every am with water and sweeten with raisins. I really think it has helped me a lot. I cut out sugar and lowered my carbs. This led to me feeling pretty good that I can now manage a small salad every day. I would say that within 2 days I seen changes in my stool. Less gas...

I eat a good amount of fiber every day. I have been feeling great lately so I have been taking advantage of it. I think what helps me the most is my oatmeal every AM. I make quick oats with water and sweeten with raisins.. That's all. I also eat a small salad for lunch every day. At dinner I eat...

I commend your nursing school for giving you a project that will help new nurses have a better understanding of different chronic dx's I would want others to understand the following: 1) just because someone with crohns can eat broccoli and feel fine, doesn't mean I can! Don't assume we all eat...

I do think the combo of caffeine and sugar is the reason why I don't do well with chocolate. I try to avoid sugar also, but sometimes I crave a little something sweet. Still looking for that good honey recipe.

The amount of sugar also bothers me. A few years ago gummy bears almost took me down. I have a big love for chocolate but it does not love me :( I can eat honey without any issues and have been looking for candy recipes made with honey. I also try to stick to anything that has less than 10g...

Thyroid good, iron level good. Only change I made about a month ago was to give up sugar. I use a lot of honey instead and have been feeling better. I just think it's strange & was wondering if it was just my body, or if others had the same issue.

Lately I have been feeling colder than normal. I turn the AC off at night and sleep with 5 blankets on the bed & sill have a hard time falling asleep as I feel very cold. During the day I wear a sweater, even at work. Does anyone else get super cold, even when sitting outside in 80 degree...

Yes. I have had this over the past year. Had to get my para thyroid checked. Stopped taking my multi vit & I don't eat much dairy. Do you think it could be med related? I'm on methotrexate & pentasa Woops!

It sounds like you are going through a lot! I am sorry that things are bad. Hot baths do work good, have you tried a heating pad? I knew a girl that had this type of fanny pack she bought that you heat up some type of bean bag deal and put it in there. She uses it for period cramps, it might...

I have found that when I eat out if I am just honest with the server I can usually get something good to eat. I tell them that I have a digestive condition and that certain foods bother me. Sometimes I just ask "do you have any dishes that have a plain cooked chicken breast with cooked veg" they...

Thanks for the ideas. Woops!
