Started an elemental diet for my Crohn's on Monday, I'm now 6 days in and struggling greatly! I haven't had any of my nutrient drinks since Thursday as I can't hold them down, I can't stop being sick! I'm starving and have lost half a stone.
I feel like I should stop now and go on to the next stage (LOFFLEX diet). I feel like I'm giving in but I don't know if it's safe to carry on with no food. What should I do???

Sounds like you should stop if it's having such horrible affect on you and go back to food you can deal with, chicken,white rice and fish until you can get to the doctor such a big weight loss in such a short time isn,t great it's probably fluid mainly but I,d be seeing the doctors.get well soon

well, different diets work differently on different people, nothing is universal when it comes to this illness. I would put myself on food and drinks I know I tolerate asap, when this illness is bad enough and even though I completely understand why you really wish this diet will work, it dosent sound like its what your body needs.
Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
