newly diagnosed

hi everyone! after having digestive issues for 4-5 years, i (23F) just got diagnosed with crohn's disease yesterday after my first ever colonoscopy. the doctor told me i had cobblestoning and some bright red inflammation in my colon and small intestine. i am still waiting for biopsies and more blood results to come back to tell me how severe it is. they are starting me on prednisone with the hope that i will go to a biologic after my follow-up with my doctor. i am also supposed to get an MRI to see what's happening in the rest of my small intestine.

i am currently on a very bland diet (mostly chicken and rice, fruits, veggies, hummus, rice crackers, and dairy-free yogurt). i am planning to meet with a nutritionist once i have my follow-up to discuss a good maintenance diet for me. i am also in therapy for OCD and anxiety, and have been discussing this medical journey with my therapist.

if anyone has advice for navigating life with crohn's, i am open to hearing it! thanks in advance! :)
