I was on enteral nutrition exclusively in the past. I used Nutren 1.5. My doc had me meet with a nutritionist to talk about calorie intake I would need. At the time my symptoms were pretty mild but...
For me I find that drinking A LOT of water helps. As does oatmeal in the morning. If you are having trouble passing stool, try squatting on the toilet rather than sitting. Not joking, it may help....
I was diagnosed later in my PhD studies, by that time I was only working in the lab and no longer taking classes. I recently completed my PhD "on-time" relative to the other students in my group. My...
May or may not be relevant but I will mention that Cbir1 antigen is also present in uropathogenic E. coli bacteria. If you have ever had a urinary tract infection / bladder infection / or any other...
I would recommend that you buy a DAILY planner and keep a detailed food diary (want a daily planner so you can write things in hour-by-hour). Write down what you ate, how you are feeling, when you...

Not sure about "too much bacteria" because honestly what's in those pills is a drop in the bucket compared to what's in your guts already :smile: I agree that you could experience some discomfort...
I have gotten sporadic fevers in the past, as high as 103+ with chills, night sweats...the works. For me, they tended to happen shortly before or during "that" time of the month, when I was stressed...
To give proper advice, I think it might be helpful to know where your active CD is located (colon, ileum, etc.), what kind of symptoms you are having, and if your doc thinks you are at risk for...
It has not been proven wrong or right--remains a theory, and that's it. It is definitely on the dairy industry's radar as a potential problem. You can buy milk ultra-pasteurized, which I don't think...
Modulen has not been available in the USA for a long time, I think at least two years because I was looking for it in 2008 back when I was diagnosed. People often use Peptamen instead and it comes in...
Thank you for all the info! I am still in the middle of unpacking and prepping for job interviews, but I am going to look into your recommendations as soon as I can....
