Funny thing about crohns

[wi_girl]

I was thinking....I used to take so much for granted before I got crohns.I used to think "geez greasy food again!(for dinner)"Now I think"ooh!greasy food.You lucky SOB" or I was always complaining everytime someone I was with had to use the bathroom yet again on a shopping trip,now people are doing that because of me.I also didnt realize how wonderful it was to chug a bottle of water,now I love it because everytime I have a flare up,all I can do is sip.I used to eat whatever I wanted without worrying but now I have to stop and wonder "how will this be on my stomach?"Oh how lucky I used to be.Now I think of all the people out there without crohns who are the way I used to be and think"If you only knew..."I'm always lecturing my friends and saying "youre lucky you can do or eat that so don't you dare complain to me and take that for granted.I'd love to be able to do or eat that again without fear."

I totally know what you mean. I remember the time when I was care free about eating. Not anymore. Every scrap of food i put in my mouth I have to be sure it won't make me sick. It sucks when I see someone eating stuff I am not allowed to have right in front of me. My hubby does this a lot. But I also know that I can't fault my hubby because he isn't sick. He gets mad when I constantly have to use the restroom when we are out and I just say, hey you are lucky you don't have this problem. And it is nothing that will stop happening so you will have to get used to me using th bathroom a lot. It is a big adjustment that's for sure.
