No smoking, no drinking, no pork, no red meat, no broccoli, no tomatoes, no peppers, no intense spices, no inulin...
Yes prednisone, yes omega-3s, yes iron, yes yoga, yes cardio exercise, yes weight-lifting, yes the 'right' balance of fiber, yes constant hydration...
Nos and yeses are making me feel neurotic. Some days I really envy people who just act without regard to consequences and take their health for granted.
The last time I did that, I ate a small bowl of strawberries and whipped cream at a party. By 2am I was hospitalized with a small bowel obstruction. Fruit the mighty conqueror. What can I say? I was young and restless last year.
This year I'm a disciplined crohnsie. I'm hoping the forum will help out when I'm tired of seeing anxious/depressed looks on my loved ones faces. I know they mean well with their worry, but I mean well with not wanting to
overwhelm them and have to feel guilty about it.
Overall, I'm managing. I even made myself a nursing care plan (student nurses you know what I mean) Frustrated by my body's darned refractory nature to pharmacological management, but some one has to keep the surgeon on her toes.
Thanks for the vent.
