  • Greetings my fellow Cronies
    I am a 60 year old female and have had crohns for 45 years...I need to get healthy my problem will be I can eat nothing but protein at this point....NO fruits or Veggies they cause blockage...Started Humira 2 weeks ago on Pentasa,6-MP,B-12,Folic Acid, Potassium, Mag,calcium,D3,Lovaza. I have had 2 resections of the small bowel and now have 3 narrowings that cause the blockage. So this will be quite the challenge just to take off 12 pounds...
