I have been in remission for nearly 10 years with of course the friendly stomach pain popping up now and then. Almost 2 years ago I started a real health kick. I decided to go vegetarian and eat a really healthy balanced diet.
I also hit the gym hard and lost loads of weight and put on a load of muscle doing weight training. I do boost my diet with a lot of whey and soya proteins.

Because I sped up my metabolism by excercise and stopped eating meats that for me were hard to digest, I feel a massive amount better. I have not had a single problem with my Chrohn's since.

This has also helped mentally knowing a look better. Hope this may help someone.

Being vegetarian sounds great to me  I love veg , salads, nuts etc BUT have been told to eat a low fibre/low residue diet due to strictures.  Too much fibre and I block and quite a few others are in the same boat.  It makes eating a healthy diet almost impossible.

I've been a veggie for . . . forever pretty much and I still have Crohns.
Funny really because I think everyone has gone through food phases which, with hindsight were perhaps a little less than sensible, but everything seemed to be fine. Then, bang, out of nowhere, with a sensible diet and exercise programme your body suddenly reacts violently to well, everything! If being a veggie worked, I'd be happy, for now, being a fish seems to work . . . . water only

Glad to hear that becoming a vegetarian has helped you feel better and has prevented any problems associated with Crohn's.  I know a few people that suffer from Crohn's disease; however, changing their diet to strictly vegetarian did not seem to help.  While many vegetarians may feel healthier due to their diet changes, it is important to note that vegetarians often lack minerals and nutrients that our bodies need to function properly on a daily basis.  Whether you are a vegetarian, or are thinking of becoming one, it is important to talk to your doctor to get his or her professional opinion on this matter.  They will be able to tell you the benefits and risks of this lifestyle change.
