Hi All,
my daughter, 15, was diagnosed with Crohn few months back. Went through enteral nutrition treatment (Fortisip by Nutricia) for 8 weeks and just started Imuran as a maintenance drug and slowly moving back to normal diet.
However - our aim is to take her out of the drugs as soon as possible.
We are inclined to start SCD / GAPS diet - however given her very mild symptoms so far (D once every 2 days, if at all) and appetite to eat whatever is in the fridge :ylol: together with her age - make me think twice - whether to leave this drastic change further down the path, and focus now on lactose free / gluten free diet, with as low carbs as possible + probiotics / enzymes / vitamin supplements - if required.
as per your experience - what would you suggest?
thx!!!!
