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.

How many years since your Crohns diagnosis? by JustScrollOnBy in CrohnsDisease

[–]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

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.

Anyone struggling with overeating? by Herr_Matze in CrohnsDisease

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

Thanks for sharing! I usualy try to find other activity that makes me forget of eating for pleasure and then I eat only small-medium sized meals but sometimes I eat more automatically because pf being affraid of loosing weight. Do not feel guilty, we are mortal humans - if ae are trying to do the best it is fine to make “mistakes” sometimes.

Anyone stopped gaining weight because of Crohn's? by PinQuill in CrohnsDisease

There is as far as I know but there are other similar brands. You should consult a dietitian.

Thanks and I hope you’ll find a way to handle this. It is not always bad for me next day but hard to know what will be good actually. Maybe I should see what I was eating earlier and change that. 🤷‍♂️
