A friend of mine sent me along to your blog in the hopes that it would help me. I&#39;ve been diagnosed with Crohns since 2004 and since then I have been hospitalized three times, and recently had a bowel resection in which they removed most of my small intestine, part of my colon, and my appendix, all while I was 4 months pregnant. Trying to handle having Crohns and a baby is even more challenging then I thought. it would be. My brother recently got diagnosed with Celiac, as well as my niece and he said it&#39;s likely that I may have it as well as having Crohns since they share the same genetic links. I knew nothing at all about Celiac or Gluten so after extensive research I figured what the heck, I&#39;ll try anything. <br /><br />I haven&#39;t had a normal bm in over 3 years so I&#39;m pretty much willing to try anything anyone suggests. I have been gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian for a little over a week and while I feel more energetic my bms are still not normal. As someone who has Crohns and says the gluten free diet helps, how long did it take you? <br /><br />If you have any advice/input I would really appreciate it!
