Diet? they should call it a LIFET because my diet has helped me become so so much better!!!
had cd for 19 yrs. always had the runs. until i changed my lifestyle dramatically.
doctors always told me "eat whatever you want" . my question is, do these drs want to exacerbate my cd to a point that they can make money off hacking up my gonnechtegazoink?
4 months ago i had 4 sections of my small intesty that the young dr i see wanted to resection all of them. it was so narrow and inflamed that i had multiple bowel obstructions and my life was losing all of the goodness in it.
i have had abcesses, it affected my skateboarding and ability to make my art, my love left me, and that was the last straw.
i had only been on immuran with no luck controlling cd, but i saved all my money for this laptop and began researching the natural ways to help my symptoms. I am on immuran, im not dropping my current treatment, but im not tryin to get jerked around with remicade and insurance or lack thereof, and im definitely not letting somebody i do not trust cut me open.
heres the lowdown. try an elimination diet.
forget wheat. try living without it, i barely ever touch it. maybe u can digest it fine without symptom maybe not. its in everything so if you are eating alot of it consistently and u are consistently in pain, go figure.
eliminate amimal fat. even animals altogether if u can maintain protein intake.
most veggie burgers contain wheat, but i ieat them at a low enough frequency to stay chill. tofu is the bomb. love that stuff. mix it with rice and some lite teriyaki sauce. boo yaa.
forget dairy. have lowfat cheese if you must, i actually do fine with cheese but terrible with milk. plus dairy creates mucous in your guts and that exacerbates symptoms. dairy has alot of really bad chemicals in it that we dont know are doing us harm. supplement your calcium.
MY DIET AS OF NOW
oatmeal, eggs, veggie bacon or sausage (contains wheat)
soft fruit. I messed up and mada a fruit salad that made a blockage so be careful with your fruits and use a blender for smoothie fun. i love and tolerate perfectly, ripe cantalope, honeydew, bananas and very ripe pears.
apples are too fibrous to break down and move thru and the skin is worthless. I bake apple slices with cinnamon and nutmeg and add it to my oatmeal or some form of sweet squash.
squash is so fun. there are so many varieties and is so smooshy and tasty
chicken breast and turkey breast and fish. all good if not fried. no friedness and no fat. no more toilet oil spills!
brown rice: make it by the bucketful and use it all week.
make everything in bulk.
i am not sure about potatoes i will give them one more chance to agree with me than its gonna be occasional consumption only.
just start with some basic smooshy food that you know is agreeable with you, like rice or squash and gradually try more foods and record your results, especially if you find your symptoms return.
i want you to look down grocery aisles and say to yourselves:THERE IS NOT ONE THING I CAN EAT HERE (thats in a package with chemicals you cant pronounce)
people werent meant to eat this way by rule of nature in the first place, and i know we suffer cd symptoms as a result of our habits.
quit smoking, quit alcohol, quit caffeine, except i consume alot of green and herbal teas. exercise, go skateboarding or whatever,
my energy is way way up without caffeine, my guts feel much better, but im not better and never will be perfect. i have bms that are formed shapes now for the first time in 19 years(not consistently, but i havent even been doing this for just over a month!). ill go numba2 twice a day at best,
there are ways beyond what your dr tells you is best for you. it is very difficult to maintain this diet but i am because i dont want to have the physical pain as often as i did. and now, i dont. and im on 5mg of pred now, still no relapse, which was the norm for 2 years. get low mgs of pred, then flare and boost the mgs right back up.
sometimes i think my doctor wants me to be sick. hi looked like he was gonna cry when i told him how great i have been feeling.
