I must add my 2 cents. I agree mostly with everyone. We all had to come to our own routine with meds, vitamins, exercise. I totally relate with you about Living somedays. I have journals from back when I had my 3 surgeries in 2013. Somedays I didn't think I could go on. I have had those moments a lot. This is a tough disease no doubt. I still only take it day by day and so thankful when it's a good day. After tweaking and tweaking my diet and chg. of meds as needed I get through. This is life long process and changes for the good and bad, our hope is we start to have more good days. U are just starting on the journey, it will get better.
Don't give up and I know u feel like it sometimes. Tomorrow is another day and could be a good one so don't waste it. Find your solace. This format is a life saver and I am very thankful for all the tips I have learned when the ds' gave up. Important things that I think are key to success a bidet, A&D ointment, probiotics, Psyllium husk and Loperamide. Also, I take valium as needed and have been on Celexa. The vitamins for digestive like, olive leaf, Organic digest and Prilosec. These are my everyday go twos. The diet really is 1st because if u had UC, SIOB, Gerd, gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant you have to change it or suffer. It does sound overwhelming but I am hear as living proof it gets better. I choose not to suffer more than I have too. God Bless and know we are here for you.
