Oh yeah all my cartons arrived today, how exciting for me. Dietician thinks this is the best thing for me right now. They wanted a feeding tube but I insisted I will drink it. I take nutrition seriously but not necessarily my weight, being very small I am fine with really, but they're not happy with my BMI. I have the Elemental 028 ready made cartons in Grapefruit, Summer Fruits and Orange/Pineapple. I am yet to sample. Anyone want to give me any prior warnings ha ha?
Any advice really appreciated this is very new to me, this whole thing. I've just come out of 10 days of being in hospital, I went very quickly downhill got admitted, ended up with about 9 drips in me and on the emergency theatre list. Gastro pretty much definitely thinks it's Crohn's after colonoscopy and CT scan and emotionally I'm all over the place. I expected this diagnosis but actually getting it well that's suddenly a different matter. They want me to return in 4 weeks for an ultrasound (CT scan showed cysts...) and then 2 weeks after that again for a repeat colonoscopy with biopsies and endoscopy. I have started a lot of new medications in the mean time and I guess I'm still adjusting. Long road ahead, support from the experienced required.
Thanks all. Xxx
