2 questions

First has anyone tried the specific carb diet and does it work?

2nd......has anyone had any gallbladder problems or pancreatic issues with your crohns..I have been having really severre nausea and stabbing pain in my upper abdominal area..just curious cuz my crohns is in my colon not anywhere else

I had my gallbladder removed before I was diagnosed with Crohn's (since that took about 8 yrs).  Was told my gallbladder wasn't functioning properly and that was their best guess at the problem.  Having it removed did help with some pain, but not all of it.  

I had an ERCP done in September due to elevated liver enzymes.  Was told AFTER the test that pancreatitis was a possible complication.  Ended up with it and was in the hospital for 3 more days, missing my sister's baby shower, which I was the hostess of.  The pain from pancreatitis was the worst thing I have ever experienced.  I threw up 28 times that night (yes, I counted).  My abs contracted so badly that I was bent over and could not straighten up my body.  The max amount of morphine they would give (which was supposed to be a BIG dose) brought my pain level to a 6 that night.  

So, in my experience, the pancreatitis pain is not something you can have and go on with your life...you are in the ER, extremely sick.  Gallbladder pain was bad at times, but was almost always bearable and I could still function.     

I just am at a loss for what this pain is..thx for your replies BTW....but I just keep having bad bad nausea and upper centered abdominal pain..dont want to go to the er again for nothing but I can hardly eat a thing without pain..laying down doesnt help and walking makes it worse

any ideas?????????

I have books on the SC diet and have tried it, but its very hard to follow. I mean, you basically can't eat ANYTHING!!! I wandered around the grocery store for hours just aimlessly looking at food on the shelves trying to figure out what kind of sugars it had in it. Maybe I'm stupid, but I just had a really hard time with it.

I find myself to be like PatientSpiders, I have problems no matter WHAT I eat, so I would rather eat what I want and be sick, then eat bland food with the same effect. However, I have stopped eating red meat, and was tempted not to long ago at Outback to have a steak. I paid for it the rest of the night. You have to find what works best for your body, not so much following a diet, but following a "what works for you" diet.
