I really think I need to change my diet. I have been looking into the SCD but there are some many of the "good" foods that I can not eat. I have no idea what I would eat.

I want to change my diet to see if it helps. On top of all the foods I can not eat do to the crohns, I am also a picky eater. I pretty much only eat chicken, occasionally have red meat but not much. Breakfast and snack ideas are the hardest to come up with.

Do you guys participate? If so how do you fundraise? I am having a hard time with that. Right now I am having a FB auction but really only getting family to participate. I know a lot of people fundraise at work but I am the only employee so that doesnt work. Just looking for some ideas! Thanks

eating healthy I want to lose a few pounds but it is hard with a restricted diet. I can only eat so much chicken! I cant eat wheat bread/pasta or most veggies. I have pretty much given up red meat. I can eat super lean but thats it. So I have lots of chicken and ground turkey. I do not...

I have not been sleeping well lately. I toss and turn all night. Could this be related to starting 6mp?

I am starting them today and I have a few questions for experienced 6mp takers! What time of day do you take them? Do I take both pills at same time? Do you drink while on them? What side effects have you experienced? Thank you!

Looks like I am going to have to start it. I was hoping that I would be I am still having issues. Remicade alone isnt doing it. I was on entocort for about 2 yrs and my Dr doesnt want me on it long term. Remicade and 6mp together scare me a bit but I guess if it will get me better than that is...

why is it that I can eat a sausage mcmuffin with no problem but a homemade egg and cheese sandwich goes right thru me??? Breakfast is my hardest meal.

I currently get remicade every 6 wks. Up until about a month ago I was on entocort as well. I had tried going off entocort several times with no luck. If this last time didnt work my Gi was going to start me on 6mp. For the most part everything has been fine. I have a day here and there when...

entocort Those who have been on it. What was the longest period of time on it? I saw my GI yesterday and we are once again trying to taper me off after almost 2 yrs on. Everytime i have tried in the past I start to flare. He bumped my remicade to every 6 wks hoping that would help. If I...
