It is the best and easiest thing. I have now noticed whenever I have a flare, I make a pot up and it eases my tummy in no time to no pain at all. I seldom am without a pot of it in the fridge now, the health benefits are amazing.

Mine sure will be in the morning Autumn Rose, not looking forward to it at all, I wish I could have a yummy meal after it but at the moment I'm so limited to what my gut will accept. I seem to be going by a rule at the moment....."if it has taste keep away from it" lol Kelly I haven't touched...

Thank you pasobuff and thank you miss spencer, difenitely will be trying both out. I'm over food at the moment....well not over food but over not being able to find things that I can eat.....

Miss Spencer, I couldn't agree with you more. If you read this could you please post up your broth recipe, I really would appreciate it if you would.

Autumn Rose I'm having a colonoscopy on that exact same day too...good luck to you and it might make you feel better knowing that someone else out there is starving and living on broth leading up to it too :)

Love nannas too. I loved smearing them in peanut butter once. Now I have them on the Coles Gluten free bread toasted for lunch, it's yummy and one of the few things I can eat at the moment that I do enjoy.

Thanks you guys! It has taken me 20 years to realise how important food really is, especially when you are flaring. Had some blood taken today to see what my ESR is, it was 90 about 4 weeks ago.

I flared up again maybe early July this year. 20 years of Crohns I am a bit over the high doses of prednisone and same old same old. I decided to put myself on 20mg pred straight away and seriously think about what I was shoveling in my gut. I stopped sugar, not immediately though, I wanted to...

Stacy, yes corn is difficult to digest, it totally strips my gut if I eat it. When I am in remission I can have it with no pain (not corn on the cob though - ever). I find that if I am on Prednisone it seems to mask a lot of the pain I have and it can be difficult to tell what food does upset you.

I stay away from red meat as much as possible. It definitely causes me grief. Meat cooked up in stews or casseroles doesn't seem to affect me as much, I can have it in small doses, but as soon as I get a good old steak into my guts, that's it, I know I will pay for it. For me, very hard to...

Doritos are on of the worst things for me. I love Doritos but the taste just doesn't out weigh the pain I get. I know I can have them when I am not flaring up but when I'm having a flare, it is the worst thing for me to eat, anything corn in fact. He needs to give his gut time to heal. It will...

AntsMommy, I am sad for you and your son. I have a 13 year old son and it would break my heart if he ever got Crohns like I have. I am currently trying to work out what food plays up on me, so far without a doubt I have worked out sugar has totally killed me. When i look back to my last few...

Astra I agee, definitely MSG, it is a killer for me too. It is really hard to stay away from things that don't have some form of additive in them these days...thanks you guys :)

What do we know agout food additives? Does anyone know of any particualr ones that we should keep away from? I know they are all bad but with reading labels these days, you need a university degree to understand them all.

Thanks cackman, I love my milk, I have tried the soy, rice and goats milk and it's disgusting :)

Is it the Lactose in the milk that affects us??

Nice to be back here. I was unable to retrieve my original username and password, I must have changed my email addy since, was quite some time ago. Short of the long, I have had Crohn's for over 20 years, struggled on and off with good and bad times like anyone. I'm hoping to spend some time on...
