<Snipped quote by Dervish>
For Christ's sake Derv! Kidding, but seriously, take it easy on yourself ): does eating Gluten-free foods help at all? I know you have Crohn's, and that people with Celiac's eat that stuff, so I don't know if that'll work. Maybe eating home-made food would be easier on the stomach as well instead of eating processed food? Or is this something that strikes you at random?
I stick with a low-fiber, low residue diet and like 90% of all the meals I eat are homemade. I was actually up to 3 meals a day (compare that to 1 the preceding 2.5 months) and had zero issues. Where I can't eat a lot of vegetables because of how high fiber they are, I make up for with vegetable juice, for instance.
The thing is I have never had a bad reaction to a small amount of icecream, and after having a busy and productive day, I figured I'd treat myself and my girlfriend for some of that sweet blizzard action. It actually came as a total surprise it put me down like it did, because as I said, never had a reaction like that before with that food. Ironically, greasy takeout food seems to be one of those things that actually goes down easy, and I am in no hurry to deny myself fried chicken and crappy value menu hamburgers if I get those cravings.
I'm also taking it as a good sign that I totally want to go get Chinese buffett right now, which means I have an appetite again after living off of Ensure, popsicles, some deli cuts, and a shitload of juice the past 3 days. I'm going to fry up some eggs for dinner and see how that goes, and maybe get some peanut butter and crackers going.
Big problem I'm facing right now is my body's immune system is neigh obliterated from the medication I'm on, so if I get hit with pain (usually caused by eating something too heavy or one of the arm-length lists of foods I need to avoid), and fortunately, gluten is totally fair game, because as fun as the idea of going on a nearly total carnivore diet would be, variety is nice.
