Gabe,One of the problems my husband had was that he would have a greater chance of D or other problems if he ate too much at one time or if he ate the same foods constantly. Try only one new food at a time -- small amounts like a bite or two. Eat for 2-4 days and if no problems add something else new. Also, pork, for some reason, gives a lot of Crohns/UC patients problems so you might want to skip that. What about lamb or bison? Another thing, my husband had problems with the yogurt and eggs in the beginning. How much of the yogurt and eggs are eating per day?

Amelia,

I'm eating loads of chicken soup w/ carrots and chicken breast, the cheesecake, lots of yogurt, lots of eggs, and lots of fruit juice in gelatin. I got stuck on the intro because it took me a few tries to find all the sources of sugar that had crept in (vanilla extract, chicken boullion), and because I had a really bad couple of days after introducing a few different foods (Bananas, beef, pork, applesauce) and I not knowing which food was the problem. At this point, I'm having a not particularly good day after cutting bananas out, so really I'm just back on intro all over again. (Frustrating! ) I will try some beef tonight and see if I get a bad reaction or not. I'm hoping to add some sort of non-chicken meat that doesn't make me feel terrible and then finally try zucchini. I kind of feel torn between the advice to introduce foods slowly and the advice to get off of the intro diet after a maximum of 5 days
