Desperately in need of a successfull DIET!

First of all: Because the Doctor's never bottered to care about my bowel pains, constipation etc. for over 15 years - I ended up with Histamine Intolerance as well. Whatsoever, I need some DIET suggestions because I can hardly eat anything at all anymore.

As for meat I eat only 8 oz. daily on a regular basis, it has to be boiled, my body wont tolerate it cooked in another way. If I eat anything else, I tend to get constipated and get a lot of pain.

I've tried bananas, apples, gluten free food, oat milk, soy milk, rice milk, boiled rice, fish, eggs, carrots, etc. But my body wont tolerate any of it. And regarding the Histamine Intolerance, it's even harder to find food - because I do also have to look for histamines in everything I consume, or else I end up with bloating, swelling, migraine, and a bunch more.

Because of the Histamine Intoleranse and the Crohn's I've lost over 130 lbs. That's probably good though, but I would love to eat something else than meat, again!

I will start fasting for 14 days, only consuming Boswella (30% AKBA), and 4.5 mg LDN on a daily basis.

I appreciate all replies! :)

Ensure and boost?

I've tried 4 different Doctor's, all are refusing to get it checked. So I dont know what to do! And the Doctor's even know that 2 more in my family have Crohn's Disease, but they couldn't care less, even if Crohn's can be genetic.

Ensure and boost?

Ensure has milk and soy ingredients along with carrageenan. Not to mention Corn Maltodextrin and other crap. I would start out with a food that you absolutely sure is safe, such as chicken broth or apple sauce, until your inflammation dies down. Then gradually add other foods one at a time to determine if they are safe to eat.

Please don't do the fast for 14 days: if that means literally no food for a fortnight, that's dangerous! (Unless it's a medically supervised liquid diet involving high-calorie liquids.)

Ensure is overpriced crap, but it does have calories and added vitamins and minerals, is gluten and lactose free, and can be used in non-elemental liquid diets. The sugars are all absorbed high up in the bowel. That said, you still probably won't be able to tolerate it, but it's worth a try, imo. You can look for a 'purer' version - I think Absorb Plus is one - but they'll be even more expensive and ultimately I don't know if it makes much difference really.

Meanwhile, if you are having allergic reactions to that many foods, I really think you need to speak to a specialist about it. Not a naturopath or a nutritionist, they're not properly medically trained and could recommend a wacky and unsuitable diet regime. I suppose a dietitian would be the place to start... Or an allergy specialist, whatever they're called :-/

Chicken broth doesn't have a known laxative effect. It's likely that it's the hot liquid which is stimulating your guts and that any hot liquid would have a similar effect. In highly active disease, anything can set your guts going, even bland or normally well tolerated foods.

Yeah, no reason why boiled cabbage can't be eaten.

Seems to me though your Crohn's is not under control? If I am right, endless tinkering about with diet probably won't get it under control if it's bad enough. Diet is used more as a maintenance sort of treatment rather than getting folks out of severe flare-ups (enteral nutrition - aka liquid diets - being the exception). What meds are you on for Crohn's?

What the heck? Are they saying you don't need meds based on actual tests? If not, run and find new doctors who will do a colonoscopy, upper GI test, etc. And even if you are technically in 'remission', there's still a strong argument for being on maintenance meds anyway.

The LDN could work and I hope it does, but I don't think you can bank on it to be honest. People with Crohn's really ought to be under the care of a medical specialist, because it can be a complex disease with many things going wrong.

Eh, that sounds a mess. Have you got any convincing reason for going to ER? As an inpatient you can get access to some tests a lot more quickly than you can as an outpatient. Otherwise I'm not sure what to suggest, other than to travel further to see a different doctor who will request a colonoscopy.

Can Mango be eaten at a flearup? I know it's a type of fruit, but I did see another Topic where they stated it were safe to consume Mango and Papaya. Any ideas?

(Stereofidelic89 - I find your post offensive, and containing personal attack.)

There are many people who would agree that a specialist would be the best person to properly identify, through scientific testing, what food allergies may be present and exacerbating your condition.
There are some who may believe a Naturopath could be suitable for this testing, even though they rely upon unconventional methods not founded upon a doctrine of evidence based medicine.

Anarkali, the high fiber content of the mango may irritate you if your guts are inflamed.
Good luck with your journey.

Thank you! That also explains why I react on some supplements as well, as they put Maltodextrin almost everything.

Read the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle"  It has a lot of diet ideas for healing inflammation and helping crohns patients try to get thier stmytoms unde control.  I have been in remission for 6 years and healed two fistulas since being on this diet.  You have nothing to loose by reading the book, and all to gain if you find something that will work for you.
