    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.

    What do you 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.
