[quote=@Dervish] I stick with a low-fiber, low residue diet and like 90% of all the meals I eat are homemade. I was actually up to 3 meals a day (compare that to 1 the preceding 2.5 months) and had zero issues. Where I can't eat a lot of vegetables because of how high fiber they are, I make up for with vegetable juice, for instance. The thing is I have never had a bad reaction to a small amount of icecream, and after having a busy and productive day, I figured I'd treat myself and my girlfriend for some of that sweet blizzard action. It actually came as a total surprise it put me down like it did, because as I said, never had a reaction like that before with that food. Ironically, greasy takeout food seems to be one of those things that actually goes down easy, and I am in no hurry to deny myself fried chicken and crappy value menu hamburgers if I get those cravings. I'm also taking it as a good sign that I totally want to go get Chinese buffett right now, which means I have an appetite again after living off of Ensure, popsicles, some deli cuts, and a shitload of juice the past 3 days. I'm going to fry up some eggs for dinner and see how that goes, and maybe get some peanut butter and crackers going. Big problem I'm facing right now is my body's immune system is neigh obliterated from the medication I'm on, so if I get hit with pain (usually caused by eating something too heavy or one of the arm-length lists of foods I need to avoid), and fortunately, gluten is totally fair game, because as fun as the idea of going on a nearly total carnivore diet would be, variety is nice. [/quote] Wow, I had no idea that Crohn's affected you in that way. Though I'm glad you're not exempt from greasy foods, as I do enjoy them myself! I would be living in a total hell, if I couldn't eat what I wanted ): Yes please go to that buffet, and eat all the Chinese food for me :D As I do love that too (particularly lo mein noodles). I'm also glad that gluten is good game for you as well (: there are several people I know that suffer from Celiac's, and it's been a struggle for them to find food, until recently, gluten-free. Even when I worked in a sandwich shop, we took extra precautions for people with that food disorder, as we knew how it could upset their stomach. I have heard of the Paleo diet, now, I'm not sure if that would work for you either in your circumstances. How long have you had Crohn's?
