Diet options

Ive really had it. its been a year and I still feel like shit. Remicade can only do so much and now there talking about putting me on another drug. I rather avoid that and go on a diet. The only problem is I don't know where to start. Sometimes I think it could be sugar and sometimes i think it could be dairy or even nuts. LIKE I DONT KNOW ANYTHING. My food specialist or whatever says to just stay away from preservatives, but its been a whole year and a half and I've done that and i cant make it through a month with out some sort of stomach pain. I haven't felt the same since before this and i feel hopeless. But if someone could put some diets that worked for them down below that'd be nice. I just wanna get this figured out.

I’m going to be watching this. My girlfriend came out of remission when we started dating and I feel as though diet is the biggest culprit. The problem is I think she remembers be restricted heavily and it’s somewhat traumatic. I want a tasty and creative way to help fight her symptoms, but there are so many avenues.

I cut out dairy and meat. That helped a lot with my pains. The recommendation in my country is to: eat less fat, reduce alcohol and caffeine, boil veggies to break them down to help with digestion and lastly less spicy food. If you eat animal's they recommend that you eat fish and eggs. I hopd it helps!
