Does anyone else have this problem? During a flare, every single time I eat it hurts the top of my stomach and about 10-15 minutes later REALLY hurts, but the second I eat I have to have a bowel movement.. it seems pointless to eat sometimes, as I feel like I loose more food than I take in!>!?! Im worried as my weight is getting low

Oh yes, the joys of urgency.

It is so terrible when you just can't hold anything in. I dropped a ton of weight too, and I was scared. Water was about the only thing I could keep down and it really became my best friend for a while.

You really do need to eat though, to keep your body healthy with all the nutrients. Eat soft foods that you know your body can handle. Best of luck to you! Hopefully it will get better!

Thank yall so much.. it is so frustrating!!! As anytime I eat, I feel like it stimulates my bowels to move and I loose more than I can put in!! Of course I hurt when I eat and well a lot .. when my symptoms first started (after I had a baby).. I dropped A TON of weight and looked awful.. i was soooo hungry, my appetite was in super overdrive.. but it all passed right through me (not diarrhea, but not "normal: stools either)... I got so weak all over that I ended up hospitalized several times - they thought i had CIDP/MS or myasthenia Gravis as I was soo weak.. but it all started with GI issues which was strange

I get IVIG every few weeks adn it helps with the GI issues, but my sibling has crohns and I am curious if maybe this is all caused by myself having crohns?? I have been eating strict gluten free x 2 years just in case that could help!
