I’m sorry you had to be in the hospital for so long, that really sucks. I personally find that once I can eat off the low residue diet without having a lot of pain and urgent bathroom runs is when I say my flare is starting to get better

I had a really bad flare up back in December and was close to death. Food was really hard to get down - stay strong! Baby food can be really nice because it’s easy to digest. Even just blending up your regular food. Once I was able to eat solid food again I had rotisserie chicken and sweet potatoes with honeydew. Oatmeal is also good, and you should get some Pedialyte!
