Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hi, I am really stuggling right now and would love any suggestions. I was diagnosed with Crohn's 9/06 when I was 14, and right after I got out of the hospital I went on SCD. Also started Remicade which have been on ever since. I had another bad flare 10/08 which put me in the hospital again. I began another flare the middle of February and have been having blood, cramping and diarrhea ever since. Doctor put me on prednisone. I have missed more than a month of school and I can't miss much more. I returned to the intro diet and since then I have been eating mainly eggs, plain beef patties, plain chicken, pot roast meat, intro chicken soup with carrots, jello, small amounts of butternut squash with honey. I have lost 30 pounds am extremely skinny and am still losing. The past couple days the cramping seemed a lot better, hadn't had any blood and had a few random loose stools instead of diarrhea. I tried adding in the nut butter brownies using almond butter yesterday to try and gain some weight, but that caused the cramping and blood to return this morning. Feeling really frustrated right now, and desperate to feel better. I am wondering if anyone has tried aloe vera juice or a product called digestinol - the one with L-Glutamine not soy (previously called molocure)? I know these are not SCD legal, but I am not sure SCD works for me anyway because I am still flaring and it is not connected with eating any illegals. I have heard other people have felt better with these products and I don't know what it could hurt. Please help! Thanks, Kylie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
