Can you get a referal to a dietician? There are
many, many nutritional options. You are not
getting enough protein with your current diet,
and cannot continue it without some form of
supplementation or dietary adjustment.
Modulen is one suppliment for Crohns which
actually tastes pretty good.
There are dozens and dozens of others. Hopefully
your dietician can give you samples and you can
pick out something you can tolerate. Many (like
Beneprotein) are pretty much flavorless and can be
mixed with stuff (like applesauce! Yeah!) I live
on a prescription nutritional product and nothing
else except broth, as per doctors orders. Its not
bad-esp since the home health place *finally* got
it in in vanilla.
A good dietician can be a big help.
