Hi folks after years of pain and been told I have IBS was given an official crohns diagnosis 2 weeks ago on 40mg of pred a day right now

Trying to eat really clean as well had 2 weeks of chicken potatoes rice and fish

Looking for ideas of what's easy on the gut to eat and easy to prep as mid flare have little energy

Thanks

    Suggest looking into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It's been shown to improve Crohn's. Haven't found a doctor yet who wants to admit that food can heal. :-( I'll know whether it's working for me when I get my colonoscopy in April, but I feel soooo much better since starting it. Much less fatigue. Still get a flare once in a while, but it's minimized. Don't mean to preach. I just found it when I was looking for food to help me, and I think it's worth learning about.
