IBD is annoying . . . .

I have missed doing the things i love, like writing for this blog . . . Past few months have been annoying! I refuse to say hard because overall i'm living a good life and is now grateful i'm healthy again . . "now" is the keyword. Last time I chatted with you I was …

IBD back at it again . . . :(

As I embark on my 31st first birthday tomorrow, I'm reflecting on how 2017 has been so far , and it's been a busy year. In addition, I've been eating what I want, not exercising, candy/soda galore. It was like YES! I'm on Remission so I'm going to eat everything I've denied myself for two …

A Flare attack and Black & Blue . . . .

It's been a week since my last post and not a good one.   A very stressful, exhausting week it has been.  New job has officially started to stress me out, but for the first time in my career its not over drama, just a lot of freaking work. But with my condition any amount …

Ruff week! . . .

I'm starting to get worried, I have had severe fatigue all week and no matter what I eat nothing is coming out.  It's been two days since I've had a #2, I guess around five days is when I should be concerned?!?! I drink water all day and ate oatmeal yesterday, still nothing . . …

Two steps forward . . . . ten steps back

After my brief hiatus I wish I could write about good news, unfortunately the blood is back. It's been back for weeks and what is a temporary fix? Predisone!  Thankfully due to my personal pharmacy I have an abundance of leftover pills, more money in my pockets for now.  When I noticed the blood wasn't …

My current mood . . . 😤!!!

 As I wait sitting to see  who I thought would be my GI, of course he's not avaliable, seeing the physician assistant instead.  And I have gained 8 pounds since my last visit, so over these steroids.  It's not going to be a pleasant doctor visit. 

World IBD Day! . . . :)

I found the above picture from crohnsandcolitis.org.uk.  A very active group that I follow on Facebook, check them out when you get a chance 🙂 In honor of World IBD Day I am wearing purple and made a donation to the CCFA. It's not a lot but something is better than nothing right? 🙂  This world of IBD …

Deep thoughts . . .

I'm starting my weekly follow-ups with my GI this week, something I never anticipated, but I guess it needs to be done in order for me to get to remission. During my appointment last week when my GI asked if there is a possibility I could be pregnant or plan to have kids anytime soon, …

FODMAP struggle . . .

I went grocery shopping yesterday and was so excited when I found the gluten-free section. Unfortunately, because it's gluten-free does not mean it is FODMAP friendly.  I have discovered that soy, onion, and garlic is in EVERYTHING!! Did you know soy is in kool-aid packets? I could not believe it! And yes I have removed kool-aid from my …
