Are you on any special diet? How do you manage day-to-day? During a flare up?

Are you on any special diet?

Only during a bad flare up, If i'm admitted to hospital they will put me on a fluid diet for a day or 2 to give my gut time to rest & then it's just bland foods & things that are easy to digest till i feel comfortable eating different thing.

During a severe flare up it's hard, i can be bed ridden because of the pain & i usually flat out refuse to leave the house. It's also when i'm admitted to hospital for 5-10 days to get it under control.
During mild-moderate flares it's not too bad, you will feel more tired & weak at times but you also learn to cope.

Lots of hugs & i hope it's not Crohns.
If you don't mind me asking, why does your gp think its crohns?
Feel free to PM me, i'm happy to answer anything i can

I am currently battling through constant runs since Wednesday, joint aches and pains, tummy pains, headaches. I had a BT and my body is fighting a massive infection. I also have really, really low iron, vit D and bunch of other ones. My Hb was 130 (should be around 70) so was dehydrated.

A few months ago I had the same thing but it was massive, squirming in agony gut/tummy pains with constant loo going but not the 'runs'.

I get what all call 'nervous' butt, whenever I have to go on a long drive or get nervous, I can't stop going to the loo.



Thanks everyone for your replies!

HB levels should be around 120ish mark... not 70...
