Diet resources please!

Hi everyone!

I was diagnosed with mild crohns (I'm lucky, I know!) a few months ago, suspected it's been very mild my whole life and brushed off as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and IBS. I know the disease won't be totally controlled by diet, but I'm just feeling unsure where to go as far as daily meals. I have tried a few recommended diets, but I'm wondering if anyone could share some diet/food resources with me that have been helpful for you. The low FODMAP diet did not help (it actually made me worse, weirdly!), nor did gluten-free. I find that white bread, plain pasta, and plain bagels actually are all foods that help control my symptoms during a flare, but I need some more options as I definitely don't get enough nutrients when I stick to white bread/pasta for every meal. Thanks!

Yeah, many people with Crohn's do best with a low-residue diet (google it for more info, if you're interested). Nutrients shouldn't be a major issue, provided you're eating meat, eggs, and a few other things as well. But if you're worried, experiment with different fruits and vegetables and different ways of cooking them. Veggies can be blended into soups or purees. Ditto fruits. Failing that, take a multivitamin table with your main meal every day.

You don't mention the SCD but that is something else you could look into. It's like gluten-free on steroids: it's gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and almost everything else-free. But if you're motivated, some people do get results from it. Once again, google it for more info.
