AngGoc79's Journal, 08 Jun 16

My weight is staying steady at the moment. Need to eat a low residue diet now to help my u.c. calm down. I'm on a lot of meds too that should help. The hardest change for me is going to be no more nuts or seeds which cuts out a lot of things I always eat. Thankfully I like a big variety of foods so I just need to tweek my diet a bit. I had pecans and raisins on my salad yesterday and my stomach was really feeling it last night. Just trial and error time. I already have a list of many foods I can't tolerate mostly high fiber foods. I cut out spicy food years ago along with broccoli, cauliflower, chickpeas, refried beans. I also love black bean pasta but can only eat half a serving. I've made black bean brownies in the past and have really regretted eating those. No more whole grain breads either. My next test is going to be trying to eat oatmeal which I hope I can tolerate. Not today though. My guts are still very "angry" as the doc put it.
Have a great day everyone!

A juice only reboot would give your bowel a rest. There is zero fiber and loads of micronutrients.

It is a huge challenge when your guts are in an uproar. I would imagine that once you have healed the ulcers you will be able to carefully add back a lot of foods that you now have to give up. Best wishes!

Makes sense. Norepinephrine is anti inflammatory.

Food intolerance is an ugly, ugly thing. I won't go into the science, but it's normally the foods one loves most that that causes them problems. You are doing an awesome job! Congrats on your progress!

Just had my follow up with my pcp. He says nuts and seeds are fine yess! I never have noticed symptoms from eating them. So far so good today. My hemoglobin is almost back into normal range too. I really do feel so much better. I do have to exercise to relieve stress. I haven't been able to do vigorous exercise recently due to my anemia and my back being hurt. I'm finally on the mend and got the ok from my p.t. to try jogging. I'm going to try Friday or Saturday morning. I can't wait to sweat!
