Belly aches after a digestive flare-up

Hi @alanbonnett,

Thanks for sharing your story, it sounds like you've been dealing with a lot after your recent flare-up, especially with the change in diet and continued discomfort. It’s great that you’re paying close attention to how your body is responding.

I updated the title of your post slightly to better reflect your experience and help more members find and engage with your question.

Has anyone else had ongoing belly aches or digestive issues after recovering from a flare-up, particularly after switching to a high-fibre diet or being on antibiotics?

I've had a bad toothache but I got no teeth doctor was no help so I went to dentist they said it was a multiple sclerosis problem so back to multiple sclerosis nurse and she asked doctor to prescribe antibiotics he was a bit slow and hung on to prescription for a day so had to contact multiple sclerosis nurse who made him hurry up with prescription hope doctor gets tooth ache for several days

Hi, high fibre diets are not for everyone with Crohn's, me being one of them.

All they do is stop me going to the loo which in the end is worse than having the constant runs to the loo.

Having said that porridge oats seem to be the only fibre that doesn't upset my tummy.
