Today I decided to have a toasted tomato sandwich for breakfast, and I didn't feel like dying! I've been so careful about what I eat the past 8 months and I feel sick anyway. My doctor doesn't believe that food causes symptoms and always tells me to eat whatever I want. So today I decided to test the theory.
Crohn's is a very tricky disease. I'm scared of eating a lot of different foods for fear it will make me sick. But does food actually cause problems? Stress? Lifestyle? Is it completely random? There is so little know about Crohn's and it drives me CRAZYYYY sometimes. To me, it is normal to want to fix your problems. You have the flu? You rest. You don't go for a jog, run a marathon, whatever. You rest and drink gingerale and take an advil and ride it out. With Crohn's you don't know what you can do. Sure take meds, see if they work, but in the grand scheme of the disease, we have no clue. We don't know how to fix ourselves. I thought not eating fruits, veggies, seeds, nuts, popcorn would help. But then why do I feel like crap for weeks on end when I'm eating very basic easy to digest foods?
Anyway..there's my rant for the day. Going to bed soon. (By the way, I've never in my life been so excited to wake up to my alarm at 6:30am as I have been the past couple weeks, just knowing that I made it through the whole night sleeping, haha)
Bye for now!
