Hi friends. I am very newly diagnosed with IBD. They're leaning toward Crohn's but my case is ✨complicated ✨ because my imaging presents as Crohn's but my symptoms present as UC. Both Crohn's, UC and complicated cases of both run in my family. I've had issues my whole life but they've never been as bad as they are right now. I'm in the worst flare I've ever had and basically living in the bathroom. I can't eat, and even drink without having to go. I started Pentasa 4 times a day about 2-3 weeks ago. I messaged with GI this morning and they called in another med for me to try. Anyway, all of that to say. I don't know how to handle this flare. I would love any advice you have for me. I know everyone is different but what kind of things can you eat without causing tons of pain? Any particular pain reliever that helps with the pain? Any weird things that aren't mainstream but you swear work? I'm just struggling so hard and could use whatever advice or words of wisdom you have. Thank you 🩷
