Hey guys
This is my first post on here! I've had Crohn's now for 2 years this month and I'm on my third course of prednisilone (fourth course of steroids in total). I started on 30mg and am on 25mgs at the moment but I'm feeling so helpless and like I've hit an absolute wall now as I'm starting to get pains again, my brains telling me I'm hungry but my body's just saying 'go on I dare you to feed me see what I do' and to top it off, since I tried the polymeric diet back in Sept/October, I can't tolerate Ensure, Fortisip or Fortijuice anymore, they make me feel so so sick and pretty much like someones punched me in my stomach so my weights stuck at 46kg!
Has anyone else found themselves stuck in a rut like this? I tried the polymeric diet in the hope that I wouldn't have to start Azathioprine but I think I'll be starting that in January, on the proviso I can get myself a bit better which doesn't look very likely at the moment without upping the steroids again for a bit longer. I feel like the polymeric may have done more harm than good now though. I have polycal powder to add to my drinks but getting 4 scoops at least in 5 drinks a day is so hard.
I'm sorry this has turned into a real rant now!!! Thank you for reading
