Crohns and Celiac

Hi, does anyone have Crohns and Celiac disease?.. How am I supposed to follow a low residue diet diet when I have to take psullium husk everyday.. I can't have corn procucts but with Celiacs and and allergy to yeast thats about all I had left. anyone else have this problem?

Hi Jamie,

I avoid wheat and corn as well.

For carbs I cook brown rice, quinoa and russet/red potatoes.

For quick carbs I buy rice bread and rice tortillas (brand name Food for Life) for sandwiches and such.

hope this helped,

Hi Jamie. I was just tested for celiac, but results came back negative. During the time I thought I possibly had both, I was worrying about what my diet would be like. It surely is challenging having both.

Have you met with a dietician? That would have been my first step if my results were positive to help set up a diet plan. Good luck!

Go Paleo.
I don't know if I have celiac or not (though apparently the two are very commonly found together), but I don't eat any grains. I've avoided grains for most of 2 years now...
It takes a bit to reshuffle menus, but truly, it's not a big deal anymore.
