So I decide with my unfailing ulcerative colitis that instead of remedying it the old fashioned way- via a doctors orders, I will just tinker with eating random things..so I am officially eliminating eating specific things- just about everything by the sounds of it. As of today (did I mention that I was at a loss for groceries?) I am not eating breads, pasta, dairy, caffeine and thanks to my DH - goat cheese, since he opened two packages and left them to rot into blue cheese. I also am trying very hard (only fell off for one, maybe two dishes) to not eat deep fried foods and pop. Did I report on my fabulous dinner at Susur Lee's restaurant on Monday night- where my mom was drooling for the matchstick potatos- they weren't fast food, probably not "deep-fried", but blissfully skimmed across some pure oil - to crisp them up- as they were a product of heaven- or so they seemed.
But, I have made a firm commitment to not eat any of the aforementioned foods - which won't be hard, since I have no groceries..
Back to my "problem"- seems that there really is no rule or rhyme to what causes this disease. But I will tell you that I am having quite a problem pinpointing the culprit/cure. You see as luck would have it- ironically I get this huge pain in the ass flare up last week- well maybe last month. Seems like I may die from it and have my mother say- I told you to see your specialist... but I don't I am just hoping for a miracle that it goes away. If that happens I can forget about it for another while.. until it re-visits and attacks again. Magically, I finish working on Sunday and go on a weeks holidays. This week off entails a trip to Toronto for a day and a half (two days if you ask my DH), and then 5 days with my kids, two days off school, two weekend days, and today- a SNOW day. Which for me is a blessing in disguise, because I can eat the kids up and relax. On the other hand, can be a nightmare. No groceries, no work to keep me busy and no hubby to leave while I run out...for a movie or dinner...
Sorry, rambling here, because someone wants to know how I am feeling. I hope. I get better!! Suffering for a month, and the flare up subsides when I stop working. But, the catch is I start to take my Mannatech supplies- and they are supposed to "cure" me according to my friend Tracey- which in her defence, they have been successful, yet all this could be coincidental. What do you make of this?
