I was diagnosed with bipolar type II disorder 2 years ago. I have been on countless medications but the one I have been taking for over a year now (Lamotrigine) has been working well for me. After taking a genome test and sending my results through a DNA parser, I discovered that I am very pre-disposed to having Crohn's disease.
I had been doing the Keto diet for the past 9 months because I heard that it was good for people with bipolar. I had no idea that I might've had crohn's so I held to it religiously. My symptoms definitely improved; however, they didn't completely clear up.
I've decided to start a diet that might be better suited for people with Crohn's. I am going to keep a food journal and track my symptoms over time.
While I haven't been officially diagnosed, I know that my dad had a lot of polyps he needed removed. I am lactose intolerant and I used to have bowel movements about 5 times a day (including diarrhea). I am hoping for the best!
