Back on the wagon with a new diagnosis...

Hi everyone! My name is Ari and I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. I've been using MyFitnessPal on and off for a few years now and it's definitely given me the most success when compared to other diets I've tried.

I'm trying to get back into a healthy diet routine but I've been facing some challenges. I've recently been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and it's a long road to remission. If anyone has had any experience with the disease and can recommend weight-loss-friendly resources, eating tips, recipes, etc, I'd greatly appreciate it! (And my apologies if that request is in the wrong thread).

Hope everyone finds success :)

    Hey there!! My husband has Crohns and has been in remission for over 20 years, there is hope!! I’m guessing if you are newly diagnosed, you are on steroids? Steroids cause a lot of water retention but don’t let that discourage you 😊

    Hi, im a fellow crohnie too. My body is better on a carb based diet which does nothing for my weight issues. I am trying hard to get more active when my energy levels are good. Feel free to add me 😄
