Hi, I am brand new to this forum, but not new to Crohn's. I was diagnosed when I was 21 (about 11 years ago) and have been on and off medication, had a few hospital trips, but no surgery (touch wood).
I was in natural remission from end 2012 to middle of 2014 (when my first child was 4 months old). I then lost a lot of weight and still can't put any on, I am getting cramping daily and the other usual symptoms. I am now back on Aza, but it isn't helping, if anything, my pains are more regular and worse. My GI has suggested we try Humira, but my husband and I really want to get pregnant again and I am so nervous about either drug whilst carrying a baby.
I know that stress/worry causes me grief with my pain etc, but I also know I need to change my diet, but I have no idea what to do, as all the doctors, etc say different things!
I am hoping someone here can give me some guidance on what I should be doing about my diet?
Thanks
