I actually realized I made a typo, it was my primary who wanted me to eat the fish and eggs, I hadn't gotten established with a GI yet at that point.
Thanks DJW and UnXmas, I did contact veganostomy and he was very nice and helpful!
@*If to be honest, I didn't really follow my protein sources carefully. I just kinda ate what I felt like and that's how I lived. I recently did a blood test and it came back that my protein was good, but I had eaten fish the day before, so not sure how it would be without it. Where do you buy your organic hemp protein, I have never heard of it or seen it? I totally sympathize with the guilty conscience, I however didn't go vegan because of animal ethics, but it seems as how I have not eaten it in over 2 years, when I do eat it it is very apparent in my mind what I am eating lol, and I don't enjoy it.
I am not due to see my gi back for two weeks, schedules weren't allowing. I just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy last Thursday, and did a CT scan yesterday of my abdomen and pelvis with enterography with oral and rectal contrast. I decided yesterday that I am going to go all plant based again, and see how I do. I started yesterday after the scan and I have to say that today I feel phenomenal! Full of energy, less than average pain level that I deal with on a regular basis, and bm's are better! I am super excited lol.
SmellyMelly I do feel that I have a lot of mucous in my stool when I consume animal products, to the point where I think I need to have a bm but it's really just gas and mucous (gross!) And I just bought a whole ton of veggies and some fruit to juice, I have a really expensive juicer that I never utilize, so I'm going to be doing that once a day as a supplement, not a meal. Btw I tried to do kale yesterday, I bought a bag of the pre-chopped, and I put in like 4 handfuls and got like a teaspoon. Is kale not great for juicing?
I also did decide to try to limit any added sugars as much as possible, which is a huge step because I love anything sweet. Also cut out caffeine, I drank the occasional starbucks as a treat and didn't think it bothered me, but I came to realize the next 1-3 days were absolutely horrible, and realized the link. I don't drink alcohol at all.
I am experimenting with beans right now, I never had eaten them on my own so am not sure if they bothered me or not. I made a lentil vegetable soup last night and ate it today for lunch, and feel fine so far. My crohn's is moderate in my colon, rectum, and anus so I don't have as many problems in my intestines or stomach. But I will definitely keep the slow cooking in mind. I normally buy canned (I know I probably shouldn't) so maybe from now I'll try the old fashioned method and see how I tolerate it.
Thanks for all the info everyone! Btw, is there a way to quote multiple people in one reply, or would I have to do separate responses? Didn't want to have to do that lol. Thanks again!
I'm holding off on nuts and seeds for now until I can try a lot of fruits and vegetables and make sure I do okay with that. I know it can be irritating for a lot of people with crohn's and colitis.
