I will be sure to keep you updated. I have a friend who has very severe Crohns disease and she had to cut fiber out of her diet for a very long time. I'm not even sure what a person would eat, to be honest. She was down to skin and bones. I think inititally they are trying to get your bowel inflammation down so they have you do that because fiber makes you go to the bathroom. I find the whole thing very strange and as soon as I get a chance I decided I am going to investigate into some good books on Crohns disease. The thing that makes me mad is that I flat out told her I wasn't happy with the treatment and she didn't even work with me on it. I understand that is the way they are trained but I thought they would set me up with a dietician or something. Thanks so much, its nice to vent about this. Not many other people seem to understand why I feel this way.
