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 😅

For years when I was younger I tried to be so strict and obsess and I would still flair and wished I could be better. Wishing I could find a food I could just eat to get rid of hunger and it wouldn't bother me. Now for the most part I just try to hold on through the flares. I treat them like waves, they come or they go, they storm or they calm. Sometimes they get worse and stay worse. I just keep waking up.

Sometimes I forget that there may not necessarily be a reason behind my symptoms flaring.

Maybe my fatigue and muscle spasms are just acting up for funsies. They don’t need a special occasion.

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

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.

Domestic skk where Chuuya gets home after a long day at work, only to find the apartment empty, with no Dazai in sight.

The lights are off, not a sound to be heard, but Chuuya can feel Dazai’s presence— some kind of sixth sense they’ve both been cursed with since they were 15.

Chuuya slowly removes his coat & shoes, letting his eyes rove over the empty kitchen & living room, till his eyes finally catch the top of a familiar head of mussed, brown waves.

Tension he didn’t realize he was holding releases at the sight, & Chuuya takes a deep breath before padding around the couch. It would do no good for his own stress to add to Dazai’s, if tonight was indeed one of those nights.

As Chuuya rounds the sofa, he finds pretty much what he expected. Dazai is curled up against the armrest, looking small despite his gangly limbs.

What Chuuya hadn’t expected was for Dazai to be fast asleep— soft breaths puffing against the expensive fabric of the armrest.

Chuuya blinks in disbelief, but can’t help the fond smile that steals across his face. Dazai always has such a hard time sleeping, so finding him like

this was a welcome surprise. Especially compared to the more somber situation that Chuuya was worried he’d be faced with.

Chuuya removes his hat & gloves, laying them aside as he crouches in front of the couch. He shamelessly studies his partner while he can’t be teased for it.

Dazai looks peaceful— cheeks rosy with sleep, & unfairly-long lashes dusting his faint spattering of freckles.

Those freckles felt like Chuuya’s little secret, because the only way to know they existed was if one got close enough to see.

And it was no secret that Dazai didn’t let people get that close.

Chuuya finds himself brushing a finger over those freckles, following the perfect slope of Dazai’s nose, tracing his high cheekbones down to the contour of his smooth jawline.

Chuuya pinches Dazai’s chin between his thumb & forefinger, tilting it at just the right angle to press a gentle kiss to Dazai’s forehead. He bites his lip to hold back a laugh at the way Dazai’s nose scrunches at the disturbance, but he really doesn’t want to wake the brunet. He obviously needs the sleep if he fell asleep here, still in his work clothes.

Why is Dazai out here? If he knew he was this tired, why not at least lie in bed?

Chuuya absently brushes Dazai’s bangs away from his eyes as he leans into the touch, releasing a contented sigh.

Oh. Chuuya’s eyes widen. He was waiting up for me.

Or, trying to, at least.

This time Chuuya doesn’t stop the warm chuckle from slipping past his lips. He presses another soft kiss to Dazai’s temple, then carefully scoops him into a princess hold. He carries his sleeping partner to their room, smiling as Dazai nuzzles his face into Chuuya’s neck.

His partner really is such a cat.

Chuuya sets Dazai down on the bed, careful not to wake him, & draws the blankets up under his chin, just the way Dazai likes it. He doesn’t bother getting him into comfier clothes— obviously, he was comfortable enough to fall asleep as he was.

Chuuya does change his own clothes, though, & brushes his teeth before turning off the light & slipping into bed next to Dazai.

He turns to wrap himself around Dazai from behind, but before he can, he finds himself with a face full of mackerel.

Soft hair tickles Chuuya’s chin as Dazai snuggles into him again— always seeking out the nearest heatsource.

“I thought you were asleep, you malingerer,” Chuuya scolds quietly.

“Shh, I am asleep,” Dazai whispers, nose digging into Chuuya’s breastbone as he tries to burrow into his partner’s chest.

Chuuya rolls his eyes, but he can hear the grogginess in Dazai’s voice that tells him he wasn’t faking it. He doesn’t fight the urge to bring a hand up to card through Dazai’s fluffy waves.

Dazai doesn’t grant him a response other than to press himself even closer to Chuuya, so that they’re practically melded together. Chuuya smiles, pressing one more, languid kiss to the crown of Dazai’s head— pausing to breathe him in— before closing his eyes & letting sleep overtake them both.
