Hey Everyone!
I'm not sure where to start, as I have so many questions to ask! Well, I guess I'll start with my story: after having severe abdominal pain every time I ate and the good ol' "constipation/diarrhea war of 2014", I went to the hospital looking for answers. While they did every test under the sun (bless their hearts), the only thing that worked were the meds they started me on for ibd/crohns. While my GI has not confirmed this diagnosis (I have a f/u on the 24th), I left the hospital with this diagnosis and have so many questions! I have been finding very limited information on successful strategies!
1) how do I eat without feeling like a gremlin isn't going to rip out of me?
2) how to I gain my stamina back (I am at this point only able to work part-time)?
3) While I know each individual is different, what are some "tools" you folks use that work for you?
I appreciate any and all information! I'm just so tired of being left to think living again is impossible, and would love to hear any kinds of possibilities
