I am very sorry for you Crohn’s is not been easy to deal at 62 and now 64 I have a great doctor . I am surprised you can have curcumin because for me aggravates even more my diarrhea.
I am having infusions which since last year was working great but my doctor and I have made a decision to try something different with less fatigue and didn’t work at all and got me off of remission. Went back to Remicade infusion but still out of remission, end up at ER twice after both infusions . Now I am even afraid to eat in special when I am working because the bathrooms is very far away and urgency is a nerve wracking.
Crohn’s disease is no joke and hard causing depression and anxiety over urgencies .
Glad your case is mild mine isn’t maybe stress of life , work and elderly husband and mother . My doctor is awesome and IBD NP is a sweet lady helps me a lot too .
I am very sensitive to a lots of food in special if they have a hint of spice etc my food must be plain , little salt , very small portions , no salads or salad dressing. Very hard to eat when it is so many restrictions. Avocado is good . Good luck and hope your Crohn’s continue to be mild , mine isn’t and it is located at end of my small intestine beginning of my colon .

Hello, I’m new on here, and very grateful The Mayo Clinic has this site to connect and get informed by others with the same horrible condition.
The reason I’m responding to your comment is because of the age thing, I am 67 years old and I got this horrible disease Crohn’s over a year ago.
It’s a very lonely, embarrassing disease. Especially when your entire family turns their back on you.
I look forward to learning more about this horrible disease that is affected so many of us.
