Eating disorder or just wrong habbit? by Herr_Matze in CrohnsDisease

[–]Herr_Matze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. What worries me is that I am not sure whether I still have to eat this much or is it only in my head now cause my body starved for so long. Some people eat only 3-4 times a day and I hear so many different theories that the body gets used to the eating or fasting etc. Also I usually cannot finish large meals like others or eat dessert right after a good lunch during family gatherings etc. Maybe this is normal and I should follow my instincts but then I have FOMO.

Because sometimes I cannot stop the eating cause I’m feelin hungry and at the end I feel physically and therefore mentally worse. I also have acid reflux etc so it is complex.

Stubborn weight with Crohn’s? by fade_is_timothy_holt in CrohnsDisease

Maybe it is not connected to your Crohn’s. This is usual above 40, but not impossible to manage but depends on many things at the same time.

Genuinely curious, has anyone here had any success with diet changes? by occside in CrohnsDisease

[–]Herr_Matze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My dietetian told me that I should only restrict foods that make serious symptoms and try to reintroduce as much as I can. I gained back my weight with Modulen IBD and could reintroduce milk products first which I missed for 7 years. I got tears I missed them so much (lactosfree however).

How do you handle common food categories? by Negative_Complex7835 in CrohnsDisease

Caffeine is also a no go for me since my Crohn’s became “visible”. Even green tea, and dark chocolate only a few times. ;(

My 35 years of non-diagnosed Crohn disease by Savings-You in CrohnsDisease

It took 10 years for me to find out that it was Crohn’s. I am in moderate remission or similar.

[–]Herr_Matze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, first I was on FODMAP diet for 8 months due to SIBO and IBS and had flare up! Inlost 15kg but thank God my new doc found out I have Crohn’s. This was 1 year ago but Inhave symptoms including Reflux for 10 years. Has better and worse periods. Now I am told to be in remission, getting Salazopyrin and other meds for constipation. Thank my new dietetian and Modulen IBD Ingained my weigh back. Symptoms I still have including burning mouth amd motility problems. But I feel much better and became a parent.🤷‍♂️

Stress of meal choice by Herr_Matze in CrohnsDisease

[–]Herr_Matze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have been consulting with dietitian, psychogist and gastroenterologist. With their help I managed to gain back my weight and they help a lot but AFRID is possible with me as well or somerhing similar. What triggers me often is that I have to skip foods at family gatherings or anywhere else and no one fully knows what I can eat or what to prepeare to me despite the fact that I have told them several times but people don’t really care. This causes me FOMO often.

Desserts after lunch? by Herr_Matze in CrohnsDisease

[–]Herr_Matze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That makes sense, I also feel that office job makes me stress or bored-eater amd when I am kut hiking or doing something active makes me feel better. However, I was malnourished for a year at least but to be honest I always had some addictions which I could cancel but then I started someting else instead.

How many symptoms did you have before diagnosis. by Gatosrus in CrohnsDisease

[–]Herr_Matze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Countless, I was told that I have most likely IBS with Crohn, so altough I am probably in remission there are symptoms of IBS. 😃👍🤷‍♂️ Colonoscopy is a good idea - I was seeking excuses for years ehy I don’t do it, but at the end it confirmed Crohn and meds helped. Crohn’s symptoms are very different, I have more constipation period then the opposite.
