I was diagnosed with crohns 6 years ago after I was very sick during my first pregnancy. I had to have surgery and had large sections removed from 3 different areas. At the time it was all a whirlwind and I didn't actually take it all in. I am now facing the possibility of another surgery and have realised it is time to face the facts and admit I have this disease. I hate self-pity within myself but am angry to have been dealt this hand but want to come to a place of acceptance. I now have 3 young kids so surgery will make things extremely difficult (as I am sure it has for other people for various reasons). I want to really focus on my nutrition and discover the foods I should be avoiding but don't know the best way to go about it (other than trial and error). If anybody has any suggestions that would be great. I am lucky to have a great support network but still feel so alone.
