Question about food triggers


Wed, December 26, 2018 9:02 PM

25 years old. Initially diagnosed with microscopic colitis, newly diagnosed with crohns. 

I have lots of triggers that I’ve taken out of my diet, reintroduced, and taken out again. Changing my diet literally changed my life. I’ve been on budesonide capsules for over a year now and could only tell a small difference until I changed my diet. But....

Dairy is a trigger for me and I’ve removed all forms out of my diet. It usually takes about 1.5-2 days after I eat it before I start to pay the price. I cheated and ate it over the Christmas holiday and fully expected to be sick. Instead, the exact opposite has happened and things are more normal for me now than they have been in months. No swollen stomach, no “D”, no stomach cramps, and no urgency to use the bath room. Anyone ever had this happen? It’s almost too good to be true. 

Thank you!

While research studies to date do not conclusively establish MSG as a migraine trigger, you should avoid MSG if it appears to be a trigger. It is main ingredient in soy sauce and meat tenderizer. - Crawlspace Greensboro NC

Many people with IBD take medications on a regular basis, even when the disease is in remission. Flares can occur when medications are not taken as prescribed (for example, skipping doses, weaning off medications). www.artificialgrassgilbert.com

Emotional eating triggers can be sneaky, creeping up on you after a long, stressful day at the office and magnetizing you to that bottle of lonely wine on the countertop. It might be even stealthier, drawing you toward the refrigerator in the wee hours of the night while no one is watching. Regards from Crawlspace Charleston SC

The doctor or nurse should have given you a sheet with the symptoms for flare ups and what to do about them and when to call the doctor.

 If you stress about the possibilities of what could happen it will be more challenging for you to get over your flare.  You have to trust in your body, trust that the medication is helping, and trust in your GI.   - tree cutting

Healthy diet first and foremost. I think you got it figured out, its just hard to believe. Youre body has natural craves and should be satisfied after some time of supressing them. Take your time and listen to your body. https://www.harmonysaltcavespa.com/

Remember to stick with a regular healthy diet. Following your Mayo Clinic Diet meal plan will help you manage hunger over time. It provides you with healthy, filling foods that meet your calorie recommendations, making your exercise plan more effective.

There is no way to prevent microscopic colitis, but treating it properly may help prevent the disease from returning. Having microscopic colitis does not increase the chances of getting colon cancer.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same but for me it's nightshades, specifically tomatoes. But they only affect me whilst I have symptoms. If I'm in remission, I can eat all the pizza and mashed potatoes I want but as soon as I start flaring, they only make things worse.
