I don't log BLTs. Life too short to figure out how many calories were in the one bite of food that I had while making lunch. And i NEVER eat off my kids plates while I'm cleaning up from dinner....I've seen them eat/spit/squish their food on their plates....I'm not eating that lol. ETA: the only time I really try nibbles…

Please, please go get checked. It could be something as simple as a food intolerance (gluten is a big one) I had diarrhea for years,and I ignored it. Being tested for Celiac and going on a gluten free diet helped immensely and I refused further testing even though I still had diarrhea if I went off my prescribed meds (to…

It's pretty hard to define a food as "clean" or "not clean" without an ingredient list. If you decide you just can't eat it, try to give it away. Don't waste it.

There is a huge list of things I can't eat, medically. Gluten, oats, nuts and seeds I make sure to never ingest. Meat (all meat, any form) dairy, corn, and eggs I try not to eat but slip up every once in awhile and have a few bites. And then I pay for it for days. So the foods I CAN eat, I'm eating. I'm not cutting yet…

I like unsweetened almond milk. Not to drink, but in my cereal.

There's a whole world of food out there that aren't made of red meat or deep fried. You might have to eat some fruits and veggies. There must be at least a few, prepared in some way, that you like a bit. Why not take some of your favourite red meat recipes that use hamburger, and try them with ground turkey, chicken or…

What kind of foods do you have in the house? If there are only healthy foods around, eating is going to be far less exciting for her, and there will be less temptation to have a 2nd or 3rd. And limit her to one snack. If she's had her snack already, she's done until the next meal no matter who else is having a snack. She…

And please don't start taking iron supplements without having your levels tested. Taking too much can make you quite sick too, and the pills often cause constipation. Not something fun to deal with if you don't need too.

Before you jump onto Paleo, do some research. Read some books, check out a few recipes, visit some websites. Then decide if it sounds like something you'd like.

I take a multi vitamin, calcium supplement, probiotic, vit D, monthly B-12 shots and liquid iron....roughly 6x the reccomended daily amount, doctor ordered, in hopes that some of it will absorb. It tastes disgusting.

Have they done another colonoscopy lately? And do you (sorry for the personal question) have diarrhea often? Your symptoms sound more like Crohns or Colitis, not celiac. Celiac doesn't cause bleeding. IBD has "extra intestinal manifestations" which include hand tingling, headaches/migraines, arthritis....a huge lost of…

You are not alone. I LOVE meat.....my Crohns does not. A few bites of meat or seafood (or broth, or beef/chicken gravy), of any kind, and instant pain/diarrhea. Eating meat actually put me into my last flare (we hadn't figured out that it was a trigger yet). It's just one thing in a long long list of foods my body hates.…

In the database you can find the calories for the juiced items. Just type in "carrots- juiced" etc. It's a pain though, since you'd have to measure the juice of each item (in ml) separately. If you want a general calorie amount there are premade juice recipes in there also, think like "carrot, apple, orange" etc. you might…

Log it, or at least half of it, and don't eat that dish again!

It really comes down to will power for a few days. I know what you mean about only coke helping with the thirst, but if you can get off for a few days (a week...) it will get better. Water will take it's place and will quench your thirst like coke did. There's really only two options, with find a way to wean yourself off…

1- Crohn's disease 2- meat, any kind, cooked any way 3- fried foods.

It LOOKS like a lot of food, but half of it is spices/coffee creamer etc. throw some food in there! Have more for breakfast then a yogurt, add in some higher calorie snacks (nuts maybe) and you still have dinner to log.

Add me too please :)

I'm kinda in the same situation. My thyroid is fine, but I have celiacs, IBD, and I'm anemic. I take liquid iron, but I won't know for a few months when I do bloodwork again if it's absorbing or not. And I have major food triggers - meat, gluten, oats, most raw and some cooked veggies, some fruits, dairy, eggs, seeds,…

I'm also nut, and peanut, free. It kinda sucks lol. Can you eat peanuts? Seeds? (Pumpkin, sunflower) popcorn, rice crackers, rice cakes, popchips?

I get exercise outside everyday by walking my kids to school and pulling my 40lb toddler on a sled, amend the rest I do at home, or in the gym. Icy roads dint stop me, we go out unless there is too much snow for me to shovel in the driveway, or the roads are dangerous because if heavy snowfall. I live in Northern BC,…

I started a few years ago when my son started reacting to dairy, soy, and corn, though he eventually outgrew most of those intolerances, it took out most processed foods and forced me to cook everything myself. I fell off the wagon for awhile while I was really sick, but am just getting back into it again. And now I have a…

While I don't buy into, the whole "cleansing" part of it, it is a good way to get lots of nutrients in one shot. Just remember you're losing out on the fiber, and if you use lots of fruit your also getting quite a bit of sugar at once. Www.rebootwithjoe.com is a good site, he's the guy that did the "Fat, Sick and Nearly…

Um, yeah. Pretty sure you can't diagnose yourself with Crohn's disease from eat pizza, and believe me, I know from experience. Did you maybe mean Celiac disease? That's related to gluten. Not Crohn's.

When I think "processed" I think of things that have a ton of ingredients in them, things like kraft dinner, premade chicken nuggets, microwave dinners, hamburger helper, frozen pizzas, fruit loops, candy/Chips/pop, Oreos, poptarts etc. And we do avoid them, but because we have to. I have one child anaphylactic to peanuts,…

I have a Breville "Juice Fountain Crush". It's amazing, and does a great job with greens which lots of juicers have a hard time with.

Meat, yes. But not butter or cheese. I love meat, meat does not love me or my digestive system (IBD). If I do eat meat I get pretty sick and lots of pain, it's a pretty good incentive to give it up, and it's bern ordered by my doctor that I don't eat it. But I miss it.....I watched everyone eat bacon Christmas morning and…

My goals are to lose 20lbs by summer, and. 40lbs by next winter. I want to go back to the gym p, even to just walk on the treadmill - I've been off for 8 months for medical reasons I want to keep myself off meds (really awful, major side effect meds) for the year if possible. Not totally something I can control, but diet…

I actually eat pretty close to this "diet" for medical reasons. I can eat cheese and use milk in my cereal, eat some sugary stuff and white rice (can't have brown or wild), but no: meat, gluten, oats, nuts, beans, soy, seeds, caffeine, not supposed to have anything carbonated, oily/greasy....and I also can't have raw…
