Every doctor I've seen has told me to AVOID fresh fruit, vegetables and high fiber items because they are too hard to digest and cause more pain and diarrhea. I've tested this theory and found it to be true for me. The only fresh fruit I can digest easily is melons and all of my vegetables have to be cooked and mashed or provided by drinking V8.

I would suggest that by the very fact you've been reading up about crohns and have left a comment here you're a wonderful friend and are in fact doing an awful lot. As your friend is limited in going out perhaps you could arrange for friends to visit her at home. Find out what books and magazines etc she would enjoy and take those round. Diet can play a large role in managing crohns - has her doctor suggested a specific diet for your friend? Have a look at the following post for more information: http://natural-crohns-disease-relief.com/blog/2006/08/19/crohns-disease-and-diet/ Hi Christine

It is not unheard of for crohn's disease to be misdiagnosed, however it is usually mistaken for IBS or other intestinal conditions not the other way around. But if you are unsure about what your doctor has told you I would suggest going back and discussing your concerns or alternatively seek a second opinion. Best of luck. Hi Donna

They removed 12 in. of my small intestines and 6in. of my colon. I hear and read where people with crohns disease most always have diahrea, have you ever heard of anyone with crohns batteling constipation? I do and one thing the doctor told me is not to get constipated, because you are passing a hard stool through an already inflamed intestine and it can cause not only pain, but also rectal bleeding. I really would like to know if anyone has ever had this problem or am I the only one.
