My Crohn's is flaring up. I just went to the bathroom and the entire toilet was full of dark red blood.
I am so scared - I can't get sick again and deal with these two kids.
I know stress and lack of sleep are what is causing it, but WTH do I do about that?
Time to get back on a very strict diet and pray like crazy. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Re: T&P needed - also way TMI
Done and done! I hope you can get things squared away with your diet. How are things going w/ D's sleep training. I know you said that he is teething and you felt bad for trying to train. Give it a few days and try again. YOU HAVE TO SLEEP! A well rested Momma is a good Momma!
my angel babies: 6/10 (chem. pg), 9/10 @ 10 weeks
I suffer from this too only when I am under stress boom it attacks the same, What kinda diet do you keep when you flare? Just curious. Mine wears me down so much with the 2 kids. My body seems to absorb nothing!
GL I so know how you feel!
First - your children are precious. I want to squeeze them - those costumes are perfect.
And you may be the only person who knows what I am going through right now. It's so tough with the two kids so young and being sick.
I avoid all foods that upset my system - onions, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, caffeine, sugar, soy, broccoli, beans, and anything processed.
It basically leaves me with meat, a few fruits and veggies, and some starches to eat. It's bland and boring, but it usually does the trick - that and prayer.
