Nanners said... LSF I do not believe any one was shouting you down at all. Having Crohns you should know that diet is very individual for each of us. I could eat some broccoli before my resections...
I never thought I'd be shouted down so harshly on this forum. It's a shame. I only wanted to share my point of view....
I also crave carbs when I'm ill and also eggs. My fave meal is spagetti bolognaise with wholemeal pasta and aduki beans....

Who knew broccoli was so good for crohns? [color=#008000> I have broccoli at least once a week - sometimes 3 times. Perhaps this has something to do with my health being reasonably good since my...
I must add that I hated it at first and said to my Dr that I preferred the D"! It is a powder and you add it to a liquid so it took a few trys to get used to and cranberry juice makes it taste ok...
I take Questran daily and have done ever since my surgery and I don't get D very often now. I highly recommend it....
My surgeon told my Dad to go get me ice cream when I stopped being NMB! I had no instrctions at all but obviously nothing spicy!!!...
Ipod or MP3 player was good for me too - especially in that gap between getting woken up at 6 am for breakfast (even if you are NBM) and the doctors morning rounds!...
I had open surgery just over 5 years ago to remove 12 inches of intestines and so glad you wont have the scar I now have! I had an epidural for 5 days after and so couldn't get up but do remember the...
MaryS - we are in the UK. I wonder if there is a similar plan in place here?...
What is a 504 Plan?...
I avoid Ibuprofen and take Paracetamol (acetaminofen?) for headaches etc. For joint pain I find a bag of frozen peas is best....
I have had a chat and they told me their doctor specifically told them NOT to look on the internet! I said probably best for now. The parents are worried about steroids and surgery (they know I had...
When you go part time do you still get full pay?...
OH cancelled after meeting with HR and now going to see my consultant instead to get a letter from them. Much better in my opinion as he knows me :-)...
Ooh - I didn't know they did a pill. I have mine with unsweetened cranberry juice and it has to be cold from the fridge. I tried the light version (the orange flavoured one) and it was awful. I...
I was told 2 a day but stick to 1 as that is enough but would up it if things changed. I tend to have it before my evening meal too as that's when I eat a lot of veg and its the biggest meal too....
They want to talk to me about it all which I am fine with. I was also thinking of telling them about this forum but am worried that some of the tougher storys on here will scare them? Some scare me!...
I just found out that a friend's 9 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Crohns. This seems quite young to me. Does anyone else know of a diagnosis so young?...
Thanks for all the welcomes guys :-) Yeah Gastric Migraines for a long while and IBS and then finally the big reveal after a barium xray!...
Hi [color=purple>Just] So sorry. [color=purple>[i] I thing my sig says it all but I'll add that I'm in England and I'm 35 [color=purple>[i] I'll also add this smiley as it looks interesting:...
Hope you're doing well. I had a recection (done open) back in 2005 and it was tough but was so much better afterwards. Worst for me was I had an epidural for 5 days and had an allergic reaction to...
I have formed poos most of the time now. After my resection my consultant said I would have D as I have a "short cut" now. So, he prescribed Questran. The directions are to mix it in water and drink...
Just wanted to subscribe!...
I had a capsule endoscopy about 3 years ago but had the "double ender" first! (my consultant's term not mine) I thought it was good. As always, the worst part is taking the preperation the day before...
I found this forum by googling occupational health & crohns and am so glad I did! I am being referred to OH as I had 9 (Crohns related) days off last year and it came up in my appraisal. I made...
Yes in the UK Thanks for the swift reply and welcome...
