I am one of the not-so-lucky Crohn's patients who can not eat fiber, foods with residue (no whole grains) . . . meaning I fare best on processed foods! I hate it, but no matter what I do, I can't change it. Before Crohn's I was >75% vegetarian, at over 50% raw foods, and loved fiber! Now I can't even look sideways at whole wheat bread, Shredded Wheat cereal, or raw celery and carrots. Arg-g-g-g-g-h!

So when it comes to nutrition for my neuro issues/MS/TM, I am unable to eat so many of the things that I know would be good for me. What I can do is balance meat/fish/poultry with steamed veggies (limited to those that are not blockage-producing), peeled fruits (no more biting into a juicy apple or pear -- I have to peel them first) and find new and exciting ways to prepare the same-old same-old week after week.

I mean, who else has problems with the blueberries in their yogurt, or can't eat lettuce? Bleah! I hate these diseases!
