Hi
I'm new on here but briefly to explain myself...i was diagnosed with Crohns a year ago and despite trying 3 different treatments after being on steroids for a while, I reacted to each one. My consultant/nurse specialist suggested another treatment of different tablets but to be honest, i'd rather take a break from it all. I occasionally have a flare up but thankfully nothing too serious asi've also changed my diet a lot since being diagnosed I.e. less chillies, no red meat, much less greasy food etc. However, i'm still feeling regularly bloated and I'm getting a lot of acne on my face which is something i've never had before, probably because everything I ate never stayed in my body long enough! I'm thinking that dairy products could be causing both issues, and just wondered if anyone else has experienced the acne issue? I do eat alot of dairy such as cereal almost every day, yoghurt drinks almost every day, cheese occasionally...
