severe crohn's symptoms, 1st day scd advice needed

[Guest guest]

diagnosed w cd last march. failed humira, 6mp,and lialda. prednisone and

methotrexate worked for several months until major flare 5 weeks ago. urgency

through night and up to 6x per day bloody diarrhea and constant stomach pain

since last flare. dr says 80% of colon is inflamed and surgery is next step

after 6 weeks of remicaid infustions w prednisone fail.

started yesterday w chx soup and homemade jello only but made first batch of

yogurt which will be ready tomorrow. havent had any dairy in over a year bc i

thought this was part of what caused my initial crohn's symptoms ( i went on a

1000 cal/day diet for 3 months consisting of mostly dairy protein shakes and

some chicken/fish/veggies)

book says intro diet for 2-5 days depending on symptoms and then introduce

cooked fruits veggies, etc when diarrhea/cramping is gone. what if the diarrhea

doesnt go away? should i begin to introduce other legal foods anyways or just

stick to intro diet until no diarrhea for the entire trial month?

i am also somewhat concerned about the yogurt and farmers cheese since i

elimated all dairy over a year ago. i am hoping the chemistry will change in my

stomach and i will be able to tolerate the yogurt, etc.

any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
