diet for crohn's disease

Your right about us all being able to tollerate different foods. Some are definately more lucky than others, some like to live in the edge and really push their luck, LOL but I think one too many trips to the ER and one too many unpleasant needle experiences you start to be more aware of what you consume.
I'd recomend a book called "The new eating right for a bad gut" by James Scala Ph.D. isbn 0-454-27976-3. It may even be available from your local library. He lists a comprehensive range of foods, so you at least get some idea of what to comsume or avoid.
Good luck and I hope your recovering well from your op.

um... no salad?

i do the makers diet. get the book. it will open your eyes to nutrition and a whole new way to eat. from following that diet i can eat virtually anything, within reason of course, meaning no fried, fatty, rich, spicy foods. but dairy, salads, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds - i can do it all. by dairy though i mean cheese and yogurt. CD has made me lactose intolerant so i cant do much milk besides a bit in a latte or with cereal for example.

best of luck to you!

Hi gmd I follow low residue foods easy to digest no seeds,nut . corn, popcorn, raw fruits,raisons, turnip.I started this in Jan. and eat well cooked easy to chew veggies,fish, minced meats I try to avoid steak, chops.This way I have been able to eat wihout pain now and when I add a new food I can tell if it is going to be alright for me and I only start off with small amounts when I add something new.I have switched from jams to jellies and honey.Gave up strawberries and blueberries that gave me problems and coconut.I have learned that it is far better for me to eat this way then live in pain.lol gail

Hi Just a note here eggs don't do me much good but can tolerate french toast . lol gail
