Food and Crohn's

A lot of people have commented on my blog with questions and suggestions about my diet.  Some diets work well for some and not others - this is obvious.  But for me it's a roll of the dice mostly.  Due to the fact that I can eat something one time and it doesn't bother me, then the next time I eat it, it can tear me up.  Every day is a new adventure, but I have found that some foods that are almost always ok or almost always not okay.  Plus, I am a very picky eater.  I don't like a lot of things and just recently added bananas to my diet.  I went for years and wouldn't even taste one.   That's why I cannot and do not follow any certain, specific diet.  I just don't like what's offered in most diets.

Well, what do I eat?  Here's my list:

Generally Good and Safe Foods
Potatoes
Rice
Couscous

Crackers
Apples
Bananas
Cantaloupe

That's a brief, right off the top of my head list.  I'll probably add to it. Now you know what I do/do not and can/cannot eat. 

HAPPY EATING!
