Not sure what type of liquid diet you are looking for. I drank Ensure and Boost drinks in the past to make sure I got the vitamins and calories needed when I couldn't eat solid foods.

I am taking Colazal which is a 5-ASA and usually for UC, but I have the disease in my colon.

Welcome to the forum! I too was scared I was going to be told I had cancer when I was being tested! I HATE going to the dr it totally stresses me out. I hope you find the forum helpful. It is a great source of information, advice and support.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Though food does not cause Crohn's I do believe it can aggravate it. One thing my GI told me very early on was to remember that anything that could upset an average person's digestive tract can have a much worse effect on mine...fried...

I still can't drink milk or eat ice cream, but I can eat cheese and yogurt. I like Greek yogurt the best and the cheese is fine as long as it isn't too much at one time.

I like to do pilates or yoga a couple of days a week and then add a day or two of a cardio workout like Zumba. If I over do it I am exhausted for a couple of days after so I don't do cardio more than a couple of days a week.

I have low blood pressure which can cause me to get dizzy, but I also think dehydration is also a culprit.

I always call or email my Dr if I feel something is wrong. He usually requests the labs and then schedules an appointment.

I have had this too, but mine is usually reddish or brown. Mine seems to come with inflammation.

Good luck on the colonoscopy...I hope you get some answers.

Message me if you want to talk or just vent. Don't give up...many of us can relate and are here to help any way we can.

My heart races when flaring (125 or so). I would have it checked out just in case. My Dr said mine was because my body was stressed...it did go down once my inflammation went down.

I have been in remission but still can't drink more than 2 cups of coffee in a day. I end up getting heartburn and or diarrhea. I also have GERD though. For me I think it's the acidity more than the caffeine. Some sodas I am ok with. Coke seems to bother me. I haven't had a Mountain Dew in...

Agreed! My GI thought it would help, but it didn't. My results didn't show the markers at all. He basically said it was a waste of time and money. I don't think I would ever do it again.

I'm good with fruity candies. Too much chocolate and I'm running to the toilet!

When I had a colonoscopy and I wasn't flaring he could see scaring where ever I had inflammation before. He said he could see it clearly and showed I had a lot of damage done due to the inflammation. Not sure if that's true for everyone though.

I have gotten canker sores under my tongue, on the sides of my tongue, inside cheeks, along gum line, and inside the lips for as long as I can remember. I don't get them often, but I do get them. Never a cold sore though. I do get a sore tongue...almost like I'm getting a canker sore, but then...

I can't drink milk either. I did fine with Boost or Ensure.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I had several tests in the beginning to help diagnose. IBD can be very complicated and shows up in different parts of the GI tract. Also, there are some conditions or infections that can have similar symptoms. A colonoscopy should give more info. I had a CT scan...

My GI does ask me how I am doing but my regular Dr is who gave me meds when I was having anxiety issues in the beginning of this Crohn's rollercoaster. I truly believe you have to take your health into your own hands. If you don't feel right mentally or physically you need to seek out help from...
