Patient's question:
Crohn's disease, the doctor recommended a fasting treatment, so I can't eat dinner and can only use enteral nutrition liquid. Will this mean I won't have a bowel movement, or will it take a few days to have one?Doctor's answer:
Intravenous nutrition refers to a nutrient-rich liquid that is digested through the intestines, which is equivalent to food and can produce stool. I'm not sure if the nutrient liquid you mentioned is intravenous nutrition, which is infused through an IV. Even if you don't eat, our gastrointestinal tract will still produce mucus and secretions, which can also form stool, just in small amounts. For severe Crohn's disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to avoid worsening the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
