Here are some ideas for breakfast. Also, I forgot to mention that I eat Greek yogurt if i'm not super hungry or I'm not feeling my best. I prefer Oikos brand.
I am so glad you have this channel. My son is 25 this year and had to come home because he was so ill. he was diagnosed with crohns this year in April and spent a couple of weeks in the hospital. He is now down to 109 pounds. He is 6ft and 3 in tall. I just become so tearful when I see him in the morning. He seems to be in pain all the time. He has autism (Asbergers ) so it is already hard. we will try the oatmeal and see if it works for him. thank you for the info so badly needed
@@thatcrohnslife we will try it for tomorrow. I never thought about oatmeal or peanut butter. He still is in a major flare and trying to get in remission..they are giving steroids and stelyara. If he keeps going down they are considering a TPN in his arm which will cause other problems...so I will try your suggestions...THANK you so much
It’s strange but oats make me feel worse, like it’s too heavy for me digest, I usually stick with making a fruit smoothie in the morning. You can get cereals which don’t have sugar either so you don’t have to cut them out just find the right ones.
I just subscribed thank you so much for your channel .... I just woke up one day and my life really changed I’m still in the diagnosis process they know I have crohns just not like specifics I guess idk my blood work said Crohn s but they are shoving a camera up there ... but I can’t seem to eat anything, it all hurts my skin is inflamed my body ugh just everything is awful 😢
Humira, for the most part, will help lighten your symptoms. I am on Humira and it has helped me heal parts of the gastro track so I CAN eat more foods. I am able to eat more fiber and rough foods because the Humira lowers the inflammation that would be caused by it...if that makes sense :)
Oats contain melatonin and tryptophan, Best eaten at night! Protein-based breakfast is best for a good start that doesn’t feel heavy. Then oatmeal for supper as the melatonin and tryptophan will put you to sleep!
I have been advised to eat a low fibre diet. Recently diagnosed with Crohns 6 months ago. It's been hell! Chia floats me...I used to eat over night oats too. Now cornflakes or ready break porridge only.
I totally get the struggle! Make sure you try to get vitamins and protein in other ways because you are now so limited. Ask your doctor if you should be taking different vitamins or could try low fiber protein drinks in the morning to supplement.
As for having a little juice in the afternoon or evening with a meal, like perhaps apple juice, would it help to water it down? What about sugar-free juices? How about juicing in general, do you personally do that?
Peter Bañuelos diluting will help with the acidity. I personally don’t drink any juices unless i’m flaring and it’s an easy way to get sugar into my bloodstream.
# Thatcrohnslife yes i seen lot of difference in my joints pain after I started taking them ya but i am on my first flares since I diagnosed so searching some diet than can help . I heard Elementals diets helps but I checked online it’s so expensive probably for whole month more than 500$ .
Oh I miss cereal... just let me have shreddies 😭 I've also found oatmeal to be good in the mornings, have you tried toasting the oats first? I find it makes for a more interesting nutty flavour. One thing I'd like to ask you is about veg and soups. I'm desperate to eat soups but can't find a veg combo that doesn't give me grief, do you have any suggestions?
datura1919 i’ll have to try! So, pastas or white rice soups are low residue. Also, any veggies cooked well should be okay, just as long as they have no skins. So celery, tomatoes, and such are not good. Skinless veggies are best for soups; carrots, skinless potatoes, and string beans. Beats and asparagus tips are low fiber too but not ideal for a soup haha.
Anupam Alok I’m lucky that small amounts of soy (like in PB) don’t irritate me, but many have to avoid this. There are other “butters” now that don’t contain soy! Yay
Thank you so much. I am glad i find your channel

Maisha Ellison-safford You are so welcome. If that doesn’t work well, try yogurt or dairy free yogurt.

Lovely Advice I wish you had more videos

moose185 I agree, oats don’t agree with everyone. Sometimes toast is better for some.
I find that soaking overnight helps and also if you can find sprouted oats, that's even better

I think 'Rolled Oats' is what you were searching for. I'm going to use the trick of protein powder in the overnight oats, thanks
I definitely could relate to this video
Hi thanks for your helpful video 👍 can I ask, do you have to be extra careful even while taking something like Humira?
Humira, for the most part, will help lighten your symptoms. I am on Humira and it has helped me heal parts of the gastro track so I CAN eat more foods. I am able to eat more fiber and rough foods because the Humira lowers the inflammation that would be caused by it...if that makes sense :)
Yes that makes sense :)
Tasters Choice is light to med roasted. It is obviously easier on my stomach over darker coffees.
I love Taster's Choice... thank you Anthony Head for all those commercials long ago. 😊
Try cream of wheat great really helps

I have an incredibly unhealthy diet but I will try this because I'm not in remission from Crohn's
I like collagen peptides more than any protein powder because it don’t make me bloated
Sonal Patel I just started using them in my coffee! I love them.

Oatmeal makes me I'll.

@@thatcrohnslife Thanks, that's helpful :) (I so miss lentils and brown bread, have you ever been able to have them?)
@@datura1919 i cant eat ceral like i used to i have crohns as well but i dont eat creal anymore.
@@ariesdragon355 sucks doesn't it? I'm ok with porridge at least.
@@datura1919 yeah it sucks i take protein shake for breakfast and i made a story of my crohns on my you tube channel.
I relate! Hate Crohn's. Thanks
Peanuts butter contains soy
Anupam Alok I’m lucky that small amounts of soy (like in PB) don’t irritate me, but many have to avoid this. There are other “butters” now that don’t contain soy! Yay
When I used to eat oatmeal, 10 minutes later I had to run to the bathroom. I had an explosive diarrhea. Anyone else?
The fiber content and the texture can irritate some people, but it also depends on the kind of oatmeal too.
You are wrong oats make crohns a lot worse
oats and peanuts...
PP. Plant paradox. Learn about lectins.
