Hi!
New here... in short, diagnosed three years ago, managed ok until last year with very little medical attention but a stressful six months meant that I started ellimental 028 diet in Jan, followed lofflex diet until last week - dietician then told me to stop because I didn't remain in remission after finishing the drinks. Consultant today said they are reluctant to give me immune suppressants because my CD "isn't that bad", colonoscopy recently showed some inflammation but nothing too bad. Yet how come I experience terrible symptoms?? (I get a lot of bloating, blood in stools- main issue, wind/gas).
I'm just frustrated because although I'm relieved it's not worse than it is, I seem to be getting nowhere and sick of feeling rubbish.
Has anyone had mild crohns and been able to control with diet alone?
