So there *is* a good reason why I've been MIA for 2 days. I thought I poisoned myself and coworker with my stuffed peppers but I didn't. You can read more on my blog (listed in my sig) but I am in ICU. Came in with cramping as well as blood in places TMI to get into!
I didn't want you to think I abandoned ship yet again. I am heavily drugged and should jsve some answers after my tests today.
jen,
Sticking my nose in, I have has both UC and Cronhn;s for more than 20 years. You will find a way to manage it and you will find that certain foods set you off and foods that will forever just make you feel like crap and never want to see on a plate
The good news is that the meds have gotten so much better...I hope you fel better soon and please feel free to drom me a PM if you have some questions, I am happy to help
Ya know, after reading your blog, I have a good friend (Lucas) who has UC and Chrone's and he does ok. You'll be alright once you figure out what's good for your body and what's not. Was **** in high school/college though with the fistulas and what-not (never thought I'd have to change dressing and pack my good friend's you-know-where with gauze) but he's good to go now.
