Flare tips for crohn's disease

2 and a half weeks trying to fight a flare here's my tips that help. These haven't fixed my flare

Food: Limit food, amount and kinds of food.

Juices, teas, water, mixed health drinks are key.

I started with OMAD (one meal a day) of light things cooked carrots, sweet potato, yogurt, rice, potatoes. Small amounts of lean meat, even cutting meat out for a couple weeks. Starting with a small plate. After 2 weeks I had a bigger plate, stop eating before you're "full" or your going to feel awful.

On days I couldn't hold to one meal a day, tea with honey was a big one, and then I worked up to yogurt and some cheese and a v8 veggie drink. Eating one yogurt cup, one babybel cheese and a 150ml v8 was enough to fill me up like I had eaten a big meal.

My calories usually stay within 1200-2000, mostly the lower side, it's not about being healthy it's about surviving for me.

Supplements: space them out but you'll need lots

Probiotic, I found one of on amazon doesn't need to be fancy take on empty stomach in the morning works best for me

A green drink, super foods vitamin kind of thing that's like 20 calories that's usually breakfast.

Multivitamin, any one a day one will work usually at night

Vitamin D, I take like 5000iu a day. Usually at night

Omega3 I like the gummies I aim for 3 a day throughout

Vitamin C, I felt like I was also sick so extra vitamin C is always good for that. Whenever you feel like it

Echinacea, I was getting sick so I added that I don't normally take it.

Disclaimer

If you're flaring this might help, talk to your doctor, this is my own experience. I'm still feeling sick so it hasn't fixed me it's just helping so I can go to work and live my life somewhat.

Had bad dreams last night and woke up multiple times, then stayed up for an hour or so each time. So today I'm completely bedbound from fatigue and it's very frustrating.

Sometimes my chronic illnesses really just kick my ass 😭 I really wanted to get some writing done today, but so far all I've managed is to eat breakfast and sleep.

It's very boring to be stuck in bed because my body refuses to cooperate.

Send me asks! Even better, send me photos of the CM women 😅

When I’m in a flare, I love watching shows and catching up on on a I’ve gotten behind on. Currently I’m watching the latest season of Emily in Paris and I really love it. I hate being so behind but also love it!

I can’t wait for season 5

I looked up the posts I made in 2020, and last time Pangur was hospitalized with pancreatitis, she was there 5 days straight. I think she only ate on the final day.

that makes me feel better about this current situation. she's been hospitalized roughly 2 days now, and this time she's getting nutrition through a feeding tube. I really do believe she'll pull through, and that I'll be able to take her home by the end of this week.

So many times my stories are not relatable. Never trusting my body, always checking in with myself before I leave the house and not being in a rush to go somewhere because I want to make sure I'm not going to have an urgent need of the bathroom or just lose all energy and need to sit.

Truth

Trying to do work but my body is refusing to lock in. 😭 So I pretended I'm jobless and played someone's drawing stream VOD while sketching and sipping coffee at 2 am.

Migraine day. Wooooo (sarcasm). Which is really fucking rude because my brain has been overrun with plot bunnies this weekend and I just don't have much capacity to work on my WIP.

Just making a list of ideas isn't the same as trying to make them into a cohesive chapter, but I'm trying to listen to my body and rest today.
