hello, i'm desperately struggling to cope with my feelings due to recent MRI results. i have very significant inflammation in my small bowel, calprotectin levels over 3000, im on a high dose of steroids and anti biotics and my MRI showed a partial bowel obstruction.

i've been told to follow a liquid only diet until the forseeable (worsy timing with christmas) 😦 and I just dont know what i can have to keep my energy up and keep going. Soup and yoghurts doesn't seem nutritious enough to give me enough energy and i'm not sleeping due to the steroids.

Has anyone experienced something similar and can recommend what you drunk and did this help you well in the long term as I may require surgery. I am struggling to get my head round this and feel really down. Any advise would be much appreciated, thank you
