I have just printed off the Low-fibre diet do's and don'ts on the Mayo Clinic website. I looked up LDN and remember you telling me about Naltrexone. These foods even appeal to me more than the foods on the Mediterranean Diet.
The only risk listed is that if you are on this diet longterm you might not be getting all your nutritional needs. How do you deal with this part.
I so appreciate your time. When I asked my doctor he has no idea what diet to suggest and to just do research. Just said don't eat any rich foods!!!!
LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone and there are numerous websites devoted to it. They can tell you way more than I can. The one from Briton is very good. They are way ahead of us when it comes to LDN.
The very low fiber diets are for you are in a flair. There maybe only a few foods you will tolerate. Start very slow and find out. I use instant mash potatos (milk is a question if you are intolerant), jello, sometimes with yogurt mixed in if you tolerate it. Remember to let the jello cool a bit so you get the active part of the yogurt. I'm not sure what rich foods are so I don't worry abut that. Easy to digest is what I am after and calories, we need those. After a few days and things have calmed down, you can add foods from the low fiber list. As to nutrition, I have a lot of vitamins I take, but not every day. You will become an expert in what you need and where to get it. Read, read, read!

I doubt if I would be considered "normal" for somone with Crohn's. I eat more salads than I used to. I am picky about ingrediants. I can handle romaine,(avoid ribs). ice berg, butter leaf (?), baby spinach, tomatos, olives (not many because of salt). I avoid raw carrots.(I can eat them well cooked), cucumbers, and most other raw vegetables unless I have eaten them successfully by themselves. I can eat most any vegetable well cooked. I have my doubts about getting cabbage soft enough, so I don't try. I ate some odd lettuce the other day (out) and regreted it. It was not very leafy. Won't go there again. I can eat any meat, eggs, reg protein sources. Have never been very adventuresome. I have started to experiment with raw vegetables again, some success. My next colosnocopy is coming soon and it will be interesting. My last one in '21 was "normal" but I was still on Sulfasalazine then.

1 ReactionOk I’m good now on what to eat during a flare. What is your diet normally?
Thanks do much.

Oh, and I can eat nuts if I chew them well. A regular Crohn's patient should probably not try. Nut butters are mostly ok.
