Drink Gatorade and Ensure of Boost. Eat bread and pasta, forget about whole wheat. Relax and sleep.
Do not forget to contact your doctor though :)
Good luck

I so get it by: Anonymous
I agree with the previoius person with the exception of dairy. Yes avoid if your lactose intolerant. Yogart is a really good source of protein and good bacteria. Try to get the kind with probiotics. never pick blueberry or anything with seeds. Best stick with vanilla, peach ornthey even make chocolate. Chocolate goooood! cook everything to death without straing out any vitamines. Eat jello, broth, potatoes, cream of wheat... You get the idea? If you need to (Ihate the idea too) take your behind to the hospital even if it's just to get rehydrated and get some vitamins innyour body. Keep strong and ASK FOR HELP!

In order to alleviate your inflamation , tell your doctor to put you on prednisone 40 mg a day till the flare up goes away, then he can reduce the dose gradually little by little. My friend, the key to controlling your crohn's is your food intake and your stress level. You must avoid all sodas and any fast food source. One bite or two or one sip or two won't hurt, but making it a habit as your daily meals will hurt you big time. use fresh meat and vegetables but not a lot. Eat a lot of fish and chew your food very well before swallowing. DO not rush while eating and drink water very slowly. Fast eating or drinking cause mal digestion and produce excess gas in your intestines which triggers the flare ups. avoid all gas producing vegetables as well. when you have a buildup of acidity and gas in your sytem, you will get flare ups. Avoid dairy products, fried stuff and even too cold items such as icecream or any cold beverages. There are lots of things that you can do to stablize your crohn's but listen to your body and record everything that hurt you once. Also avoid vinegar, most of creamy salad dressings, and lemon juice or any similar drinks. Avoid too much spices and do not over eat or drink too much. Moreover and most importantly, avoid stress if you can. Exercise gently and have a wonderful time.
