Cook Books


Mon, March 08, 2010 9:49 PM

I was just diagnosed with Crohn's about 2 months ago. Started treatment and have been responding well to it.

Having trouble with diet though. I use to not ate a lot, but with the medicine working my 
appetite has increased but even though I'm hungry now there's really nothing I want to eat. Now and then I get a craving for something but its frustrating to put effort into cooking a nice dinner and then not eating it. Also I'm trying to improve my nutrition as my last lab test showed it was low.

Was wondering if anyone knows of any good cookbooks for people suffering with crohn's. Thanks Laters

Go on www.Crohnsonline.com. They were offering a cookbook there. Because no 2 Crohns patients are the same, no eating plan works for all. I personally cannot have any raw fruits or vegetables.  I put melon pieces in the blender and make a slush. So, what I am trying to say is, life for a Crohns patient is trial and error. Good Luck
