PRO 32 Liquid Protein

[Cooper2016]

I have had Crohns for about 3 years. Been on lots of different drugs. I am getting tired of trying food after food only to find it makes me feel terrible. I am on Cimzia and had another flare for three weeks. At this point, I am beginning to see food as my enemy. I used to enjoy cooking and eating out. Now I just don't care. I have discovered that I can keep my protein up with PRO 32 liquid protein drinks. I seem to tolerate them. Then a can of V8 or some kind of liquid veg. drink. I tried liquid fruit smoothies, but I didn't do well with that. Otherwise basically if it is colored white I tolerate it. If not, I do not. I eat far too many carbs; bread, rice, potato, etc. While all of this is taking place, instead of losing weight, I have gained weight. I feel terrible most of the time. I have begun to swim two to three hours a week. Yes, that helps with muscles and such, but it doesn't address the food issues. What do we actually KNOW about food and Crohns. :frown:

Hi
sorry to hear your having a flare up at the moment.
Im in the UK so i can only guess the Pro 32 and v8 are simular to our virsion of what we call build up drinks which contain all the nutriants you need when your having a tough time tolarating food?
It is tough knowing what to eat or more what we can toleatre. I can only tell you what I was advised when in a flare which is to eat food that is easy to digest , which involves for me a lot of soup.
