I recently had my fourth colonoscopy and the results reveal my Crohn’s is back which honestly didn’t surprise anybody. It is located in my small intestine but my GI is doing biopsies to see if it is located anywhere else in my colon or intestines. Now Crohn’s is a very diet controlled based disease. Here is what I can’t have:- excessive amounts of caffeine (you know how hard that is for me)
spicy food
Vegetables (you honestly should just stay away from anything green)- fried foods
Whole grains (really any grain)
Nuts and seeds
As you can see this eliminates alot of food. And even if you are extra vigilant, food will most likely sneak by you and you’ll be in the bathroom for half an hour anyway. It doesn’t sound that bad but this could continue for days and the dehydration is a big issue. I get weak and cold and usually get bad headaches. On that note I’m going to lie down.
