I have crohn's but not a j pouch since they are not recommended for crohn's. I did have a total proctocolectomy with end ileostomy 7 weeks ago and still haven't gained back to my pre surgery weight yet.

I have crohn's and was on a super restrictive diet but I recently had a total proctocolectomy with end ileostomy and now my diet has expanded. Still have restrictions but not nearly as many.

For me it was when my crohn's was very very severe and I wasn't absorbing anything. I was hospitalized for over a month on tpn and was getting blood transfusions because of it

I have actually had protein deficiency (very low albumin)

Exactly. Don't really get the assertion that eating according to your macro allowance (which therefore is within your calorie allowance) makes you a fatty.

I have crohn's and have many food restrictions. If you are in a flare you should not be eating a full range diet. Find out what is bothering your gi system and avoid that like a plague.

I have never gained on antidepressants

Actually she has one thing right. Of course cancer cells die if we change our body's pH level...... because our bodies die ;)

That your digestive system goes to sleep at night. Nope definitely not. As someone with an ileostomy i wish this was true!

Probably should ask your mommy to call your Dr and make an appointment

She posted a thread today that got deleted advertising shakeology and had a link yo her beachbody coach page. You can definitely be an MLM salesperson and have a career at the same time.

Sounds similar to my diet up until recently but I was able to eat moderate fat. I have crohn's though. My diet is now expanding because I had my colon and rectum removed and have a permanent ileostomy. Still can't do high fiber, nuts, seeds, legumes but can eat more veggies than before (without skin). Have to eat according…

@Noreenmarie1234 I haven't been on it but it is the biosimilar to infliximab/remicade and I was on that for 2 and a bit years until I had to get off of it because of my surgery. They aren't the same drug but similar. I was stable and almost in remission but it did nothing for my fistulas which led me to have a total…

Oh freezies

Just fyi, according to another post she's a beachbody coach....

BMI 18.7 and drink coke zero every day basically. Also diet coke is the drink of choice for many anorexics.....

But you don't weight your food do your calories are probably off

Not properly logging your food (weighing all your solids) is what is slowing down your weight loss

Unfortunately hate to be a bearer of bad news but all IBD is chronic but I'm assuming you're in the mild-moderate range. I personally have crohn's. There are new treatment options coming out all the time but most of those are for more severe disease (biologics) and are way more than $632

She says she doesn't work out

Vanity sizing?

I have a friend who is always front and center in cardio glasses and works out hard but she doesn't ever sweat. Some people just don't sweat much and it really isn't an indication of how hard you worked out.

Wow this zombie thread is still going....

One fifth

All bread is processed btw. The only bread I eat is sourdough bread but I guess itsthe devil because it's white.

Frozen foods, refrigerated juices and milks, cheese, yogurt, pudding, bakery, meats etc are on the outside aisles of sobeys/superstore here as well as seafood, fruits and veggies so tons of processed foods

Soda doesn't have a lot of sodium......

I find it delicious as well
