[Guest]

hot water!

seriously - when i've had stomach gripes, a partial blockage, feelings of nausea or indigestion, drinking hot boiled water has helped me more times than i can count.

 

[Guest555]

Tea

 

[Jenny06xx]

Tea with sugar I know it's not a food but it gives me energy when I can't eat etc

 

[Astra]

Rice Krispies and Toast

 

[Rebecca85]

Bovril- warm, soothing on the tummy, filling, easy to digest and a good spurce of salt.

 

[Trev]

mashed spuds

 

[Mountaingem]

Mountain Dew for a beverage, poached eggs for food.

 

[roundtuit]

Another Mashed Potatos fan. Rice is a close second.

 

[lynx]

mashed potatos and rice pasta...i guess..oh and scrambled eggs..maybe.

 

[vonfunk]

gatorade and ramen.
I have a stockpile of ramen just in case.

 

[Cat-a-Tonic]

Tea, especially ginger tea. It calms my stomach and alleviates nausea. On those days when I can't even think about solid food, I go straight for the ginger tea.

I'm totally with you on this. When I feel things building up, I go straight for the hot water. It helps get things moving. I don't ever get constipated, but I have narrowing at my anastomosis and food seems to get stuck there alot. Then I get gassy. Drinking hot water helps with the gas.

 

[Miss Spencer]

For UC not C

Freshly prepared carrot juice, using organic carrots

It settles me right down almost immediately, and stops the pain and diarrhoea

Discovered it quite by accident and now drink it every day for pleasure, as well as helping with UC symptoms

 

[Entchen]

Great thread.

I totally agree with ginger, and will add peppermint tea to the list. And Ensure!

 

[crazycanuck]

Sun chips? Haha seriously. My aunt as purely coincidence was volunteering at a camp in california for crohns kids and apparently thats what they gave them so I tried it and it worked! Very well could be in my head but I dont mind either way.

 

[Nancy Lee]

Poached eggs, rice, tea, banana, flat ginger ale.
When I'm really bad...Ensure.

Before my first surgery, when I had really bad stomach pains, I used to try and stick to those foods. Hardly a lot of flavour or taste, but they did tend to calm things down a bit and reduce the amount of times I opened my bowels.

 

[MADiMarc]

When things are really, really bad the hot water or mint tea really works for me. Semi-bad I eat roasted chicken & white rice.

 

[AndiGirl]

Rice Chex Cereal, Peanut butter (smooth) sandwiches, and peeled apples

 

[Nytefyre]

probably something like Ensure.

 

[kskitt]

Tea and hot toast (i like to dunk the toast in the tea)

 

[ThanksP]

[Crohns08]

scrambled eggs for me. It's always a go to food. Mashed potatoes are also really good too.

 

[MapleLeafGirl]

Here is my list:

White toast with a little margarine
Mashed potatoes
Jello
Kraft Dinner
Hot water
From Subway - Turkey sub on white bread with a little mayo

 

[ev088u]

Ice Cubes. Never failed to help with the queezieness.

 

[ekay03]

When I am flaring, Hot water and hard candy!!! for the energy

 

[tiloah]

Ensure.

My albumin is chronically low so scrambled eggs. Wish I liked them more, I try to eat them a lot.

When I was too nauseous to eat pretzels were a lifesaver.

Also Coca-Cola. When I can't eat or drink anything else, that keeps my blood sugar up (probably higher than it should be )

 

[Crohn'sFor Life]

Steamed plantains.
Yerba Mate tea.
Bananas.
Rice.

 

[Crohn's 35]

Larged flaked oatmeal, and rice milk... soothes and heals.

 

[zootown406]

sweet potato pie for the chrons and fried chicken for the soul
