ask your doctor about elemental liquid diet and inform yourself on the subject here in the forum. ive already posted a thread with the latest scientific reviews on the subject. You can try it in drinking way, not only feeding tube. Its a nutrional powder you mix in water and its intended for impared GI tracks, often used in CD.
best to you.
best to you.
Yeah that ^^^
Elemental formula or semi elemental formula can be orally or through a tube.
It can give you the nutrients your body needs without making your body work hard or have a lot of healthy intestine to absorb it.
It can also help with inflammation similar to steriods in some cases when used as sole nutrition.
DS drank EEN ( peptamen jr no food ) for 9 weeks instead of pred.
It reduced his inflammtory markers .
Good luck

I have recently tried curcuminoid extract (from tumeric root) It helped me a lot for arthritis morning stiffness. Something you can try. sold in health food store under different brands. Elemental diet could help you for both CD and arthritis. call your IBD nurse or GI and discuss those 2 products with them,
good luck.
good luck.
