Since I might have Crohn's Disease, I decided to do some investigating.
Most of you know that I had UC and had the surgery and have a J-Pouch since 1994. Since early May, I have been having so many gut problems. Seems anything I eat, no matter how little I eat, puts me in some pain with symptoms of bad cramps and extreme amount of Gas. I always feel bloated and am afraid to go anywhere. The disgusting part is that when I pass gas, and I always take Beano, the stench is gross. I don't even want to go over anyone's house because of it.
I have had Pouchitis way too many times and though I was scoped last month, my pouch only has a little inflamation.
For Milk, I started drinking Soy Milk but that caused me to have Kidney Stones. So I switched to Rice Milk and have been on it for years. Lately though, if I have a bowl of Rice Chex with Rice Milk, and then mix in VSL DS in about 4 oz of Rice Milk, I have a real bad day.
In doing some research, I happened to come upon the 13 Best Foods for Crohn's Disease and the first thing that was there was Almond Milk and that was the only Milk product discussed so I am switching to that.
