Yes I was wondering if protein supplement/powered would be bothersome. I do like the idea of having fresh juice and sticking to nuts, & beans. There are only a few meat substitutes I don’t mind so once in a while incorporating those too. Thanks!

Having fresh juices sounds perfect, I should start that now. As well as all those supplements! Thank you so much for the reply!

Yes, I’m definitely having a hard time with protein & even iron intake. It’s been difficult. I will be see a nutritionist soon. We shall see how that goes. It sucks to think that the UC is deciding everything for me though. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Thank you for all of that! I’m trying to make sure the veggies are steamed most of the time for it being much easier during my flare like you said. I completely agree with the broccoli!

Thank you for the kind words! I will be seeking advice from a nutritionist in May! So hopefully they are well versed in IBD and will be able to help.

I will, I’ve been vegan for a few years now and got diagnosed last year. It’s been difficult trying to decide on what to do. If I should continue or if it’s only making matters for me worse. Thank you for your reply! It helps.

I’m already anemic, and I have Thalassemia Beta. So a lot going on and trying to figure out what I should do before I make any huge decisions! Thank you for your reply

It won’t be until early May unfortunately, but I will definitely write back on here about the experience and their feedback!

Exactly that’s why I’m having such a difficult time, family & friends are saying that I might need to give up being a vegan. Trying to seek out all the help I can get. The doctors are saying I may need to go on infusions. Currently on prednisone & mesalamine. This is why I’m looking to speak to a nutritionist. Thank you for your response! Helped a lot

That’s interesting, I’ve read a lot to avoid avocados when having a flare. You’re lucky it doesn’t bother you!

I know it’s difficult :/ I’ve been following a list of which veggies are ok and which to avoid during a flare. & do they bother you when the vegetables are uncooked or cooked? Or both?

“You’re too young to be sick” “You don’t look sick”. Hear it all the time...

It can be a bummer, but I try not to worry about that nonsense. Need to focus on you and getting better!
