I was diagnosed with Crohn's a couple of months ago. Lost a ton of weight, etc, and was hospitalized for several days to get diarrhea under control, as well as addressing malnutrition. After that, I was able to eat again - still working thru which foods are "ok" and which ones are not for me.
I see the benefit of eating several small "meals" thruout the day, but I'm having a hard time with that. My habit has always been breakfast - lunch - dinner (and I've not always been smart with portion size). How did you transition from breakfast-lunch-dinner to smaller meals 4-6 times per day? If anyone can share a "typical" day of smaller meals, that would be really helpful.
Also, when eating a food, do you find you know right away if it was a bad choice? Or can it take a couple of days to show symptons? Wondering how long it takes to get to the colon, i guess. I've been in pain for a few days, and I'm not sure if it's something I ate a few days ago. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for your help and support!

I'm in the same boat. Always been a 3 meal a day person, also not necessarily good portions or balanced. I keep seeing references to "small meals" but, sorry to sound stupid, I don't really know what they mean. I've searching for a clear definintion and examples, but no luck so far.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Most foods go thru me in a half hour or less. Maria.
