Ah, the trials and tribulations of a Crohn's sufferer

Giving up on things you love.....as far as food and drink go anyway.  For me, things that I LOVE that aren't good to eat anymore are ice cream, chocolate, candy (like licorice etc), chocolate, pop, pastries with cream fillings of any kind, donuts, chocolate, coffee, etc.  I CAN eat them, but I will suffer a pain greater than death if I do.  And not only from the abdominal pain but the pain I'm going to feel from wiping my butt every time I go to the bathroom, which in these cases would be about every 5-10 minutes........literally.  I might as well strap my sons potty to my waste!!
