Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi Heidi, Two weeks ago, I had too much fruit in one day. The cherry caflouti probably was the main problem. I started having pain " contractions " a couple hours after eating. Luckily, I was able to hold out and not go to the ER. The pain finally subsided after vomiting in the middle of the night. The next day, I only drank liquids. I also had some prednisone pills left over and did a prednisone " burst " (40 mg for 2 days, 30 mg for 2, 20 mg for 2 days, and 10 mg for 2 days). Then I added in some yogurt on the 2nd day, and the 3rd day I also had 1 egg. Day 4 & 5 I had 2 eggs. Then I started eating squash pie filling (I ran the squash through a food mill so that it was pure mush), cheesecake, cheese, and an almond butter brownie. I just added back zucchini, meat, and green beans a couple days ago. I'd say I'm probably back to normal now, but I'm only going to eat stage 1 & 2 foods for awhile. I see my surgeon this afternoon (appointment made before the obstruction), so I'll find out more then. I anticipate that I'll be having a resection within the next couple months though. I hope your husband gets to feeling better soon! It's no fun dealing with this sort of thing.

We have an appointment with my DH's GI thursday and want to be prepared. Thank you, Heidi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 No problem Heidi! I'm not in Portland though, I'm in Phoenix Arizona. Holly > > > Hi Holly, > > I really appreciate your information. We have been floating along on a bubble of " my DH has crohns but it is mild " and wham, this partial obstruction hit and I guess I am in a bit of a panic with the thought of Remicade/Humira and the potential for surgery. I was really pinning my hopes on this diet taking care of the disease and being able to manage it with the diet. I really think this flare was caused from stress and the 3 capsules of L-acidophilus at once but I am sure the GI won't really care about that. Did I see in a previous post that you live in Oregon? We are thinking of checking out the two SCD GI's on the SCD list in the Portland area and wondered if you were familiar with either. Thanks again for your info.
