As you might know. I have been on Rinvoq for 6 months now. Though the colonoscopy, pathology report in addition to bloodwork show mild inflammation (notable lymphoid hyperplasia with no active disease) which means Rinvoq has started working, my GI informed me that I’m not in remission yet. Unfortunately, I have developed elevated cholesterol levels which are of the side effects of Rinvoq. These keep rising though I am in a lower dose of Rinvoq (30 mg). My GI has prohibited me from eating some food including eggs which I used to eat and was a life saver. Of course, he put me on Crestor, which, tbh, I’m skeptical to take as it might cause diabetes.
In the hope of lowering my cholesterol levels, I’ve read that I can eat avocados, nut butter and hummus. The last time I ate avocado, I had 9 bms in an hour and had to take several Imodium capsules to stop diarrhea. Are nut butters and safe for Crohnies?
