I haven't been on this forum in ages and thought I would check in and do a bit of reading.
Since posting I have discovered a few food triggers that seem to set my CC off within a short amount of time...spinach I absolutely cannot tolerate, very sad...peanuts either, but almonds are okay...I think anything with onions in it can be an issue and recently have found that salsa is not my friend.
I decided to try kale in my protein smoothies which I used to do with spinach and loved and the kale, for whatever reason, does not upset my system at all.
If anything, it has seemed to normalize things.
I still take 2 fiber capsules every morning but no Imodium or entocort for a long time.
If I avoid spinach, onions, peanuts and salsa...I seem to be okay.
It amazes me how fast a trigger food can set things into motion...I have had enough times where I forgot about spinach and had it in a salad without thinking and by the time I got home from lunch things were not fun.
Very bummed out about the salsa yet if I have it in a hot dip and not by itself, it doesn't seem to bother...weird.
The last time we ate out and we had chips and salsa before our meal, I had a horrible rest of the day and next so have sworn off that combination.
Considering how bad things were for me 2 years ago I cannot complain I guess as I have things under control for the most part.
