| Health & Support | Can you lose weight with Crohn's Disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome?? | Feb 28 2009 03:10 (UTC) |

I had a resection and would advise only doing it as a last resort. I had NO PAIN or flares for 6mo afterward but have nothing but problems thereafter. My surgery was not a matter of choice however and I praise my surgeon each day that I have with my family regardless of the pain I still feel. The exercising shouldn't be much different than you do now. I simply feel to bad to do much more than light house cleaning and trying to go to work each day. I advise waiting for the mere fact that there is a 90% chance that you will be forced into the same surgery in the future and the more they take out now the less you'll have to offer in an emergancy situation. i hope this help some. |

Hello. I've been looking for a few years to find a place like this. I have Crohn's and have the same problem as you. The foods I need to eat to loose the weight I need to loose cause major problems, a simple salad and I end up in the hospital. I disparately want and need to loose at least 50lbs but how can I when all I've been able to eat is fattening? I actually have a short list of foods I "CAN" eat without serious consequence; apples, bananas, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower and carrots (if they're well cooked) fish, chicken, most cuts of beef, sausage, bacon, eggs, and white bread, fried foods aren't a problem unless they're really greasy (fried potatoes are a big NO) I also have a problem with potassium, my levels tend to drop to critical very easily so foods higher in potassium are helpful, although I have a hard time absorbing the nutrients that I need from food. It seams that the fat content isn't a problem in the absorption category. If you have any suggestions I'm disparate to hear them, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and I'm very sorry I can't be of more help right now, if I hear of any thing new I will post it immediately. |
