Logging symptoms
How does everyone here log their symptoms? I came onto MFP to log my food, but could use suggestions on how to log the symptoms that come with eating. I am new to this and basically know that coffee and high fats foods 'trigger' symptoms, but i'm sure there are others. Just not sure how to log everything in the most…
Weight Gain
Have any of you suffered weight gain and have struggled to lose it? What are your secrets to lose it? About a year and a half ago I managed to lose 10 lbs but it came right back. I've tried 21 day fix, 21 day fix extreme, the first round of 80 day obsession and didnt see results with any.
New Diagnosis...New Game Plan
Hello everyone, I was just recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and have started the long journey of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet as well as getting back into my old cardio routine that I had when I was in my 20's. My overall goal is to get down to a healthy weight, cut out all gluten, dairy, and refined sugars from…
Anyone fighting this through diet and not medicine?
The pain started out of nowhere back in November 2009. I was diagnosed in January 2011. My specialist insisted I begin taking two forms of steroids immediately. I was a little taken back. I said I would like to look into a nutritional route. He assured me I would be back for the drugs. That was almost 2 years ago and I…

Any ostomates here?
My colon and rectum were given an eviction notice on Friday because of my fistulas so I will be getting a permanent ileostomy. Wasn't expecting this at all (though I knew I'd probably eventually get one). No surgery date yet as he is overwhelmed with cancer patients but probably in a few months.
Hello
I just joined this group. I was diagnosed with mild (that god) Crohn's a year ago. While I have medication to help, it wasn't enough so I switched from a 90% plant-based diet (I'd have dairy and eggs when I'd go out) to a pescatarian diet. I started adding in fish and shellfish as an easily digestible protein in January…
Active MFP members with Crohns
Hello all, I recently searched for a group looking for other Crohns patients who wanted to share their experiences and weight loss or gain process and I found this group. I am not sure but it seems like a lot of the posts are rather old and I was wondering if there were any Members who were interested in becoming friends??…

How quickly does food affect you?
I'm sure this varies from person to person but while trying to work out "what" sets me off I suddenly realised I have no idea how quickly you'd expect to see symptoms from ingesting an ingredient your body dislikes. Pre any of this I'd always assumed that it would be a long time say hours or even a day while the food was…
