“junk food” feels better than “real food”
Hey everyone! I’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s for about 3 years now and I’ve tried all the low FODMAP, anti inflammatory diets and it feels like what people call “real food”: fruits, veggies, steak, potatoes, chicken, etc. all cause me so much pain in comparison to chips, pizza, popcorn, etc. I want to eat healthier but it hurts me! It seems overly processed foods are the only safe ones for me. I could down a turkey and American lunchable but the real turkey would take me out for a few days. I am able to eat candy too, although it makes my joints hurt severely if I have too much. I’m wondering if anyone else has had this experience? Am I crazy and need to eat different? I just find it SO strange!
