I have had Crohn's Disease since I was around 14. I am 61. Seven bowel surgeries, IBS, chronic pancreatitis describes my life in a nut shell. I am in constant pain. A colonoscopy last month show the crohn's is again active again and my stomach is not emptying properly thus the Idiopathic Gastroparesis diagnosis. I have read everything and anything I can get my hands on about this and my question is this. It appears that very little can be done for this condition. {Reglan was one drug mentioned but been there done that, had the bad reaction, was lucky it went away once I was off it.} Obviously my diet is already difficult. Is it even possible to work with easing the systems through diet. I'm eating 6 small meals rather than three large. I have lost nearly all my colon and over half my small bowel to surgeries. TPN was attempted but I'm prone to infection, the high glucose in the TPN, the infection left unchecked after treatment put me out cold for 3 days, 105 temp and I barely survived Endocarditis. I really don't want more medication, more anything at this point. I really just want to find a way to not constantly be in pain. I'm on pain medication through a pain center but the fact I'm throwing up a lot and my stomach doesn't empty correctly is causing all of my medications to be less effective. Is there an easy answer to this like.....just don't eat this or that kind of thing?
