Newly diagnosed with pancolitis grade 4, iron deficient anemic and protien deficient. I've been very sick. I was hospitalized Nov 14 - 20. Upon release I was clinically controlled on prednisone and remicade. Prednisone wacked my blood sugar so I am now on insulin, 4 shots daily.
The low-residue diet and diabetic diet contradict each other. Its frustrating. I am overwhelmed.
I am having difficulty deciding what is best for me to eat. Trial and error for the past 4 weeks.
Yesterday was off schedule with meds and did not eat protien.. Last night I could not stop eating carbs, I was not even hungry.
Today was a bad day for me. I was bloated, dizzy, weak, had headache, ear aches, 97.4 temp, exhausted, unable to concentrate. Very disengaged, cancelled appt with diabetic specialist. Had late day diarhea w/urgency, 4 Xs. Loss appitite. Still feeling lousy.
Are these side effects of new meds or poor food choices?
