Can anyone with Crohns Disease answer this?

Question

I have just been diagnosed with Crohns and am experimenting with food elimination and keeping a food diary - Preliminary results appear to point to the fact that Meat and meat products are causing the main problem? When i eat only veg based products I have minimal flare up?

Has anyone else found a similar intolerance in them or relatives? It seem silly to me, can only be certain Nutrients that are in meat products?????

THANKS

Hello,

I had Ulcerative Colitis & Proctitis six years ago and cured myself without western medications. Proctitis & ulcerative colitis are both serious digestive conditions which affect the colon and bowel. Crohns is a chronic digestive condition which also affects the colon, all of these conditions respond very positively to a process of food elimination.

YES! MEAT !! is a no! no! if you have Crohns why? because meat is extremely hard work for the colon to deal with and so removing meat & meat products from your diet will definately help your colon & condition (symptoms of the Crohns).

**NOTE: I could write pages & pages on this topic but dont have the time or space. However please see my website it has LOTS of information which you would find of value? I hope?

My sister in law has crohns and she has a hard time with meats and dairy. At times she cheats and she doesnt do so well for a while. I hope this helps some.

I'm sorry to hear this. I haven't got Crohns myself, but I work with someone who has. I don't know what her main diet consists of, but she told me that she avoids those health drinks such as actemol, as the so called good bacteria in them, as they can (allegedly) cause serious problems for people with Crohns.
