Yes, I do also have to wonder what my gut will let me eat, but I've

got the diffuse jejunoileitis form of Crohn's disease. For the past 5

months all I've been able to get down without screaming pain is grits,

oatmeal, applesauce, some dry cereals and whey protein shakes. I am

horribly tired of these foods. I used to like eating but now it is

just fuel.

Do you find yourself craving a particular food then you eat it and

your body gives you the dickens? I would do almost anything for a big

salad with lots of greens and microgreens and raw carrots and yummies

but raw food hurts me. Crohn's is a funny critter - one person can eat

something without a problem but another person is doubled over with

pain after eating the same thing.

Hope you're feeling better! Jeanne B in GA

Hi Jeanne,

Yes, I end up craving foods that I can't eat and that also makes things

frustrating.

Every day is different and I can eat one thing one day and do the same after a

day and it won't bother me.

I sometimes look at it like an allergy jar. That once it fills up that is when

the migraine pain starts.

I am so used to being in pain that I don't know what a day w/o pain is.

I like that about the jar. Yes, it is like that, isn't it? My mantra

is " You can eat or you can breathe. " Been loosing a lot of weight

because I really do like breathing more.

Don't you just love (sarcasm here) when the doctors/nurses ask you

what level your pain is at? I usually want to scream 9,287 but they

only learned to count to 10.

Hope you get a pain free day very very soon - or at least a pain free

hour.
