Remedy: anti-inflammatory medication to reduce inflammation caused by the injury.
Result: inflammatory disease. Years of taking anti-inflammatories has ruined my digestive system from mouth to colon. Causing ulcers, diverticulosis, strictures, gastritis, gingivitis, arthritis, (any more "itis" ?)
Poor diet: eating too many refined foods and sugar
Remedy: eat whole foods and eliminate processed foods and sugar
Result: aggravates inflammatory bowel disease
Eating healthy, whole foods makes it WORSE not better.
Low residue diet: eating all the stuff that is not good for most people... white rice, white pasta, white bread, canned fruits and vegetables (lower fiber than fresh),
Result: weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, but it makes my inflammation in the colon less.
IBS and IBD are not the same thing.
IBS is much easier to deal with.
IBD.... only gets worse. And can result in some pretty serious complications.
Stress makes it worse.
My life recently (past month) has been HIGHLY stressful. Which explains why I have been so sick with stomach problems.
The pain, the discomfort, the frequent trips to the restroom, are taking a toll on me.
*sigh.
Oh, to be young again.
