I hate Flare Ups

[damon]

Hello all,
I'm not usually very chatty but I thought I would join a forum where there are people who understand what it is like to live with Crohn's. Lately I've been trying to control my flare-ups with careful attention to my diet but eventually I get mentally obsessed with my limited diet and I break down and eat a cheese pizza or something else stupid and then I really regret it later. I hate flare ups and I hope to gain some insight and inspiration from this community.

Thanks.

Hi Damon and welcome! I can understand not being very chatty but I'm glad you joined and appreciate you posting

Diets can be really hard to stick to! Most of us definitely feel you in that regard.

I realize you don't like to chat about this, but if you feel up to it, are you on any medications? What are the current symptoms of your flare?

Again, welcome!

Hello Damon and :welcome: to the forum. Diet is very tough and of course what works for one person may not for another so it can be discouraging to keep trying things and not get the desired result. If you have not already do have a nosy around the diet and sups forum as fingers crossed there may be some helpful info here for you.

I was also wondering if you don't mind what meds you are on and what symptoms you are experiencing?

Wishing you all the best

AB

Let's face it. We're human. We do good for awhile then there's a birthday party and we can't refuse the ice cream. The best thing to do when that happens is to forgive yourself and move on. After all, we're all broken people in a difficult world. We're gonna make mistakes along the way.
