My husband and I have been married for 18 months. He had UC and had to have an emergency surgery 3 years ago. He currently has a JPouch but it has not been an easy road. His bowel movements range from 5-7 a day and usually are towards the end of the day (after 7 pm). Additionally, he is very particular with the food he eats. He doesn't like fish, any vegetables (even if it's cooked) or fruits. The only things he likes are chicken breast, steak, ground beef, white rice, bread and chocolate. He is always complaining that he is tired. He is taking meds to manage it but it's not helping and he's in a clinical trial program. I don't know how to support him anymore, we have a 5 month old who has drained his energy because he wakes up in the middle of the night and it make its harder for him to get continuos sleep. It has affected him not only physically but mentally and emotionally.
How can I support him? what can I cook for him?
Will it ever get better?
Thank you!
