Hi, I'm a 20 year old male living in the UK. I was diagnosed with Crohns in July but have just got around to having an appointment with gastro at my local hospital during the winter break home from University and they have put me onto modulin for 8-10 weeks. I have a few queries though..
Firstly, can I eat any flavour/colour Jellies? I know before a previous colonoscopy I was only allowed clear jellies, but I'm not sure how this works?
It also says I'm allowed "Jelly sweets". I'm not sure what it means by this... Me and my mother think it means the standard fruit jellies you can get from supermarkets that don't contain sweeteners/ E numbers. But as I say, I really don't know...
Also, I'm aware I'm not allowed juice with sweeteners in them but what are the limitations with this? My mother bought me Ribena and I've read the ingredients and it seems fine, but I can't help but feel that it's too... artificial? If that's the right word?
Any help would be much appreciated.
