I know this is a random question, but I just thought I would throw it out there because people ask me this all the time. It cracks me up when people find out that I have Crohn's (if they know what it is....which is rare) and the first thing they ask is oh man what can you eat?

If I could eat anything without getting sick....I think I would scarf down some glorious popcorn (not the bag kind) and top it off with garlic salt. That sounds so good, yet so forbidden. I would also love a giant glass of Orange Juice. I think if I was able to eat anything for a day I would probably gain 10 pounds from all the food I would consume...and I'm ok with that!

A nice steak, salad, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, with chocolate ice cream for dessert.

Extra buttered movie theater popcorn and cashew nuts!

That alone would make me one happy camper!

popcorn would top my list and maybe some nuts. Crohnie8 , did you try the low acid OJ yet? I think  minute maid makes it. I can tolerate that quite well it might work for you. Karen

God I miss real FOOD!!! LOL Too bad Karendee we couldn't just have a little taste, huh?

I would definately eat lots of chocolate. Haven not been able to eat it for about 3yrs now. I was the worlds biggest chocaholic. If any chocolate gets near my my mouth then I could end up in hospital, so its quite hard with 2 kids. Oh and a pork chop smothered in garlic sauce!

I do eat most of what is mentioned. Me - I want old fashioned Southern Fried Potatoes (lots of grease), with home made from scratch milk gravy, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Tomatoes till I cannot see straight, any good heavy cream based vegtable soup,

Haha I love all of your replies. Apparently we all want greasy food, popcorn, pasta, chocolate, and pretty much just what everyone else gets to enjoy whenever the heck they want. Even though I cant eat soooo many foods I still look like I haven't missed a meal for a long time...darn prednisone. What is the deal with that!?

since I am extremely new to the disease (dx jan 2008) I am in the de-inflamation stage! (I am hoping it goes well!) I am craving all kinds of things, but mostly I really want corn on the cob and peanuts in the shell!!
Posted 1/31/2008 11:28 PM (GMT 0)
Oh, My! Popcorn. Hot, Fresh, extra extra dripping butter popcorn AT THE MOVIES!!!!!
And a big fat stinkin' COKE!

I do fine with any foods, but I choose to give up junk-foods, processed foods/beverages ect.

However I've always struggled with egg nog, even with my lactose intolerance issues under full control, I take 2-3 lactaid pills to have a little bit of egg nog and it usually goes right through me...it makes me sad but luckily I was able to find egg nog flavored lip balm so it's better than nothing....it's not fattening either LOL!

A chili hot dog, big huge poutine fries, and a hot fudge sundae with peanuts!
Oh, yummy!

Popcorn. Fresh grapefruit for breakfast. A big mug of caffeine-filled Lapsang Souchong tea (sigh).
