I have just started realizing how much better I feel of late Crohnswise. Many of you know I had such a rough time after my kidney surgery, and was losing lots of weight and having issues with my diet etc. I am almost afraid I will jinks myself saying it:) But I am feeling pretty good.


I have been eating so many things that in the past gave me grief, but aren't any longer. I am so happy about that. I added in some red meat back into my diet, and it has helped some with my fatigue. Yesterday I ate carne asada tacos and even had a little salsa on them. Had a retirement party at work, and ate some spicy foods that normally would have sent me straight to the bathroom. For so long I was eating the same thing day in and day out. Its nice to have some variety back into my diet. I think giving my guts some rest from the harder to digest things has helped to heal whatever issues these foods caused previously.



I do still have some joint issues and fatigue, but I do have fibro and osteoarthrits, but all in all I do feel much better. Its nice to have my tummy behave itself. Been a longtime, and glad for it.



So hang in there, better days are ahead for us all. Hugs and hope you all can get to feeling like this soon too.

Thank you guys, that means alot. I am still suffering with the joints, but thats also because I really need to do my knee replacements, but am so surgery weary right now, that will have to wait. But love that my guts are finally behaving themselves. I have eaten things I haven't been able to eat for a long long time. Some salads, baby carrots, beef, spaghetti you name it. I do still have a few items that don't like me, but if I avoid them have no issues.

I do not follow any special diet, I have always stayed on some form of a modified low residue diet and most importantly I stay on my maintenance meds all the time. I once enjoyed a nearly 20 year remission and hoping God will grant me another.

And most importantly I pray that each of you can reach a good place in your health too.

Hugs,

Nanners, stay out of them joints . Really though, when it comes to knee replacement make sure you have tried all other things, such as colagin(spl) injections and there are other treatments. Only bring this up because knee replacement is painful and pain meds are bad for us ...

Hey Sniper,

I get cortisone shots every three months. And they work pretty good for 2 mos and then the last month (which I am in right now) is much more painful.

Guts are still behaving, but the joints aren't too happy right now. Had to call out of work today as it was hard getting around. But a little rest and hopefully all will calm down. Hugs!

Thanks again all for your good wishes. I do love you all so!
