Its...No worries Tim :) its an honest mistake hehe. <BR/><BR/>Its great that the diet is working out for you!! I wouldn't worry about the weight. I think you'll eventually gain it back once your symptoms clear up a bit more. I think its mostly because during a flare you're going to the bathroom more than you're able to keep food inside. So just keep at it. I believe in your confidence to get better. yay!!fernpixelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12834920752324815572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301003018131338280.post-37448769829284562492008-09-18T00:30:00.000-04:002008-09-18T00:30:00.000-04:00I feel like an idiot...

I hope yo...Hi Tim, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your replies... um... I hope you realize when I label things as "RETRO" entries, they are things I wrote 4 years ago (I always place the date of when I originally wrote those things). <BR/><BR/>I'm just writing these out for you guys so you can see how bad things were for me in the beginning. Because I want to show that I started out the same as everyone else. <BR/><BR/>I'm actually in remission now. Hardly any symptoms. I am on Colazal alone and have been on the SCD diet for more than two years. Just wanted to clear that up. <BR/><BR/>Its very nice of you to be concerned... but you're replying to old issues of mine. :) but thank youfernpixelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12834920752324815572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301003018131338280.post-33103522880216044462008-09-17T03:59:00.000-04:002008-09-17T03:59:00.000-04:00Hi again, I see you are quite frustrated - as you ...Hi again, I see you are quite frustrated - as you should be. I never got much pity either when I was under the care of a doctor. Don't have health insurance anymore - it is SO expensive living in NYC. Hope things change like soon, health care etc. I had to get Pred from my sister in Cali "Illegally" Have you been on Immunomodulators or Biologic therapies? I have not been on either of these and the Aminosalicylates don't seem to do so well for my chemistry. Prednisone has been the one that's put me back together when necessary. I am no "doctor" though after 3 years of research and listening to "my body" I feel like I could be - concerning IBD anyway. It sounds like to me you are not healed inside enough to cross over to the colazal alone? When were you on steroid last, how long and at what increments? How did you tweak down (at what increments) If you don't want to answer I will understand, I feel I may have some knowledge to help. If you prefer we could communicate via E- mail it might be easier or maybe someone can gain from this feedback.<BR/><BR/>I will write more later<BR/><BR/>Tim - Razornyc@Gmail.com<BR/><BR/>Razor = I am a hairdresser...<BR/><BR/>Hope your feeling ok - I know how bad those cramps can be...<BR/><BR/>You are strong...Razornychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321252709820104470noreply@blogger.com
