Hey guys, I hope you are all doing well!
I'm a total newbie in this forum, or any forum to be honest...
A little about me... I was diagnosed with Crohns in June 2013, and now one year later I have finally realized that it is VITAL to change my lifestyle & diet in order to become somewhat better.
Since I was diagnosed, I have had my mother & my sister constantly looking up different things online about 'What Not To Eat' & 'Diets For Crohns Sufferers'...and when they would tell me about it I just wouldn't listen. I didn't mean to come across as ungrateful or anything as I always appreciate the help of other people, I just didn't believe that changing my diet could be more effective than taking medication... but these past few days have made me think that maybe I WAS WRONG!
I came out of hospital yesterday after 4 days of being treated from the worst flare up I've ever had. I was having Steroids through an IV, Steroid enemas, Salofalk enemas, etc etc etc. Once I finally got back home last night, I just sat there and thought to myself about what kind of life I am in for with Crohns, & that the only thing I am relying on to help me through this is my medication...
So today is the start of a new journey for me, I am finally taking action to change my complete diet, and then in time my lifestyle also! Before I became ill I was racing Motocross regularly, and once I get myself fit & healthy again that will be my main goal.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my post...if it sucked then I'm sorry, it is only my first one! Haha.
I would love to meet other people with Crohns, as I don't really know anybody else. It would be good to have new friends to talk to & swap advice and help with each other.
Hit me up & connect with me!
All the best everybody!
