My diet is kind of plain, really. I guess like most here, once I got the dx, I really started avoiding a lot of foods. Nothing raw, nothing spicy, no caffeine. I also gave up trying to manage my blood sugar because any diet to manage diabetes isn't really Crohn's friendly (whole grains, fresh veggies, etc).
I'm still new at this so it's hard to define where I am with this. I have some kind of cramping or pain almost every day, it's just not all day anymore with the meds. Since the dx, I only have had one flare, and it was only about two days, and nothing like what I had experienced before. The bad part is that days with no symptoms at all are very, very rare. Even if I'm not in pain, nothing seems to be right in the bathroom. I'm wondering if it ever will again.
I also have several other things happening as well- I was dx hypothyroid in 2005. That's also when the childhood asthma came back (it was gone for a long time). I take meds for both of those, and also take meds for GERD, type 2 Diabetes, high cholesterol (caused by the diabetes meds), and now this. Every day begins and ends with a fistful of pills.
Anyone else experiencing this?
