thank you littlemissh for your reply .i had a small bowel resection 2 years ago .since seeing the consultant thursday i did try a little soup an also a bit of chicken .wow after half hr was back to the runs ,blood an pain .not tried anything since yesterday as just hate the pain so much .in past i tried inflixab but had severe reaction after one lot .i was also on humira but not much help to be honest .ive had the steroids also .apart from oramorth an other pain killers such as kapake ime not on any crohns meds .i do also have thyroid problems so taking thyroxine 200mg a day at min .i guess ill have to keep going on this 028 elem threw peg tube .i have not as yet gained any weight .it just takes so long to get these feeds threw the pump .i was told to increase rate ,which i did but then again the runs got worse .after speaking to my nutrica nurse she said i shouldnt have been told to hire it that much .i spoke back to the dietican an she said she didnt know too much about crohns an o28 which is a little confusing lol .thanks again and hope you keeping ok x.
