elemental, lofflex and elimination diets
Hi, I'm about 3 months into trying to tackle my crohns with diet..
I started with elemental nutrition (which didn't really go too great), I relapsed immediately when I went on the 'lofflex' diet, and then I started the elimination diet in september and since then i'm doing reasonably well.
This is the treatment plan of Prof Hunter (author of 'inflammatory bowel disease'), and I go to cambridge every few months for a follow up with him.
i'm off the entocort, but still on the pentasa, and symptom-wise i'm ok, other than an occasional mouth ulcer, but calprotectin tests show that there is still moderate inflammation.
I have a long way to go with testing foods, as it takes 4 days per food, so i'll be doing this for more than a year, and thats only if all goes well.
I'm just curious if anyone else has tried dietary treatment for crohns, or is in the process of trying? If so, it would be great to know how you are doing!
