I have exactly what you have . I seem to be in a flare more than not. I’ve been on the low. FODMAP diet Which is very restrictive. It’s recommended you add foods in gradually after six weeks. It turns out I can’t seem to add anything in. I’m hungry and I’m want to eat. Eating is Such an important part of socialization. I’ve posted this before I believe on this website, it may have been on the Crohn and colitis website, but I am Electing to have my colon removed because I can’t do the cleanup anymore. I have severe incontinence. I’ve been on Remicade and Entyvio and I’m pretty sure one of them was very harmful to me. I’m suffering with all kinds of arthritic pain and weird random illnesses since. Ive had a positive ANA which nobody seems to be able to tell me more. I wish you the best and if you haven’t visited the crohn’s and colitis website, it’s a valuable tool. So much support and encouragement. You don’t feel so alone and actually you end up Being thankful that you’re not as bad as the next person. All of us with IBD are true warriors! I wish you the best.💞
