Reply to "J-pouch and crohns - best/worse food?"

I’m sorry you’re going through this, Cath. Specific diets don’t seem to consistently help folks with Crohn’s. Since it’s a “relapsing/remitting” disease in many cases, it can seem like whatever change you made just before a remission must have caused it. Nevertheless, it’s also possible for particular dietary things to be troublesome for an individual. The two diets I would consider trying are the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and the low FODMAPs diet. Nevertheless, neither has a high probability of success, and there’s a real risk of getting stuck on an inconvenient diet because (for example) the Humira started working at the most misleading possible time.

Good luck!
