    Thank you everyone for the answers so far. About fruit, what about fruit with no skin, like oranges? Are any fruit ok? Another question, which is hopefully not too personal...what exactly happens when you eat nuts/fruit/popcorn/etc? Do you go poop often? Does your stomach hurt immediatley...

    To People That Can't Eat Nuts/Seeds

    Hi everyone, So recently I was told by my doctor to avoid things like popcorn or sunflower seeds which I guess cause irritation on ulcers on way out. My question is, what else should I avoid? Please! Tell me everything that falls under this type of category. Thank you very much.

    Halloween time - can you resist those apples?

    Well how do you know which diet to try? It says SCD is 95 percent effective for crohns patients, yet it seems like most people cant handle fruit, which strongly contradicts SCD. Is SCD wrong or overstated? Is it just some random diet that is as likely to work as low reside or something else...

    Am I only the one who is constipated and not D?

    Hi everyone, It seems like everyone I read about is going to the bathroom multiple times a day, whereas I'm very different. I'll sit there for a hour trying to get it all out otherwise I won't go and will feel bloated/gassy/stuffed all day. Was I misdiagnosed recently? :ybatty:

    Caffeine alternatives?

    Most energy drinks have more than just caffeine to give you energy. I believe most have taurine which gives you energy and seems like it may be a nasty version of caffeine. Perhaps try having something like plain coffee before you eliminate caffeine. Best of luck!
