Crohn's diet / Constipation

Sorry for your troubles!

if you google low fibre/low residue diet, there's some useful food lists.

im allowed tinned fruit, as I'm guessing it's nice and soft!

the restricted diet is like the white/beige/ boring diet!!!!! 

Im allowed 1-2 oz of carrots, swede, toms cuc deseeded and peeled.

also my 2 0z of soft fruit.

ive only eaten melon, which was a soft cantaloupe and soft peaches.

i also check nutritional values to make sure they're low fibre.

ahhhh for a nice a crispy green salad, coleslaw, brown bread with seeds...😍

Hi laura. Try bananas they are alright

Thanks guys,

Tinned Fruit may be ok! Anything but drinking movicol after every meal!

How do you find Humira, if any of you take it?

Thanks

Hi Laura 

That doesn't sound very pleasant.

I have Crohns in large bowel which is a little different but I too developed pancreatitis after Aza and 6-MP worked well initially. My inflammation is minor currently and I eat foods of all types as well as fibre supplements (ish agile). I only need to be careful when in a flare and then as long as I avoid onions pulses and fruit juice am fairly comfortable. Bananas and toast with marmite and green tea are my staple foods when at its worst.

I am starting Humira in the next week or so and would appreciate your thoughts on its effectiveness for you.

I wish you well

Hi I had resection for Crohns of small intestine / terminal ileum with 3 strictures. Before my surgery I could only manage bananas, ripe melon & cooked apple without causing problems, although I did also manage porridge oats. Thankfully now I can manage a bit more variety. Good luck.

Hi laura

i agree with others about tin fruit. I understand the problem with fruit is digesting the pith so it must be well pealed and tined fruit is well peeled.  Porridge is good says my own G.P.

Our diet is so boring.  I sometimes think I would be a good idea if we on the forum got together and made a two week menu.  Any volunteers?
