I believe that the foods depend on the person!. I have IBS myself and somethings throw me off and other things don't!. I would say try to stay away from things high in fiber/fat!.!.!.

Go see a doctor they will be able to give you more information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll have to get tested for Celiac!. You can try abstaining from all wheat/gluten products for two weeks and see if symptoms improve, but to be 100% sure the doctor has to test you!.

It sounds like IBS, but I'd see your doc!.!.!.maybe schedule an ultrasound and lower sigmoidoscope to rule out serious things like IBD or Chron's!.

In the meantime avoid spicy foods, anything heavy/greasy!.!.!.bascially all the yummy stuff :P lol!. Keep a food diary, detailed with what you eat and how you react to it, for at least two weeks!. It's a pain but it's helpful in diagnosing things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son was diagnosis with Crohn's disease over 2 years ago!. the doctor wanted to put him on Humira (after experimenting with several other drugs) which is anexpensive drug with life threating serious side affects!. We did some research and wanted to take a new approach to combat His problem!. This is what we found out!. The liver is producing too much bile that is toxic to the digestive tract!. The types of foods you need to eat are those that DO NOT create excessive acid or bile that help in digestion (simply put)!. The bile is normal unless it is in large quanity or toxic, the acid attacks the food as well as intestinal linings of your stomach
Your body is high in toxins that you need to remove and stop feeding into the problem by the foods you consume and an overactive liver!.

1!.) "Foods to eat" : water purified, fish, eggs, potatoes,rice, white bread,meat ground up fine or chewed well, skinless chicken cut fine, tortillas, broth, noodles plain with a little butter, plain yogurt with no extra ingredients, rice milk(rice dreams-Walmart) cherrios rice crispies or chex, plain oatmeal and 'most important' 5x/day at each meal and as a snack, legume's black beans, kidney, pinto, buttered,refried, with no lard or spices except salt to start!. Goats milk(found in a can) Sunshine and D'3, Iron supplements(in moderation)
if you are anemic!.
2!.) "Foods to avoid!": dairy!,milk (hard to digest a cow use 4 stomachs!) chips!,processed foods of any kind, fast food of any kind, soda ,msg,sugar,corn, corn syrup,corn sweeteners,wheat products,sweeteners of any kind, coffee, teas,sauces, read the back labels (you are going to be surprised) for added ingredients any thing thats added, adds to your body's toxic level!. NO artificial sweeteners!. foods that produce too much acid to break down the foods you eat!. No alcohol of any kind NO Tabacco!. fatty foods!.
3!.) 'Foods to eat': in moderation after you stop bleeding and start gaining weight or are having no discomfort : fruits,steak,venison, peanut butter or almond butter, more plain oatmeal A multi-vitamin with minerals with 100% RDA (not large dose's of any vitamins and 2x daily ,use shaklee as the bench mark for comparison ) of all of the B's, hard cheese, soy milk,well cooked vegetables" Psyillium powder"!.
4!.)The beans are a water soluble fiber that absorb bile and remove the toxins in your body,then the liver will produce more bile but less toxic(simplified for lack of space)!.
5!.)This is not an all inclusive list and your Doctor will disagree with the elimination of drugs, all removal of drugs should be done slowly if you decide to stop taking them, but they will add to your body's toxic level as you continue take them!. which will make your Crohn's worse and make you susceptible to other more serious disease's!. I am not a specialist in any field or giving medical advice!. I also hired KarenHurd!.com at a fraction of the cost to teach my son to diet properly but you can go to her web site and get free information, but I recommend you pay her for a short time to get you healthy and on a routine faster!. Stress will make it worst so exercise and relax!. Most importantly Faith, Hope, and Prayer, you will get better!. God is faithful what ever the results!. E-mail me if you have any questions and I can help!. I don't know if you have crohn's but changing your diet could help you and most of us in America because of the poor nutrition we unknowingly subject ourselves too!. Ibs is similar but the diet still apply's!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
