Medication: 15MG Prednisone, 40MG Lialda, SCD Probiotic
Passings: 1
10:20PM Another perfect passing.
How I Feel: This morning my gut felt a little funny, and I was wondering if there might be yeast building up in me, possibly either from a bigger portion of diluted grape juice consumed yesterday, or from a fatty soup that we were unable to scoop a lot of the fat out of. I felt constipated a bit all day, and finally used the restroom at 10:20PM. It was a perfect passing (Bristol Type 4), so I'm fine by that! Heck, I'd love to go once a day right before bed every night if I'm able too. Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is cravings and missing regular tasty foods, drinks, and treats. All food everywhere that I cannot have looks to die for. But I feel strong and I'm in this 100%. Symptoms are looking fantastic, especially since I only had to go once today, so the intro diet will run it's course for one more day tomorrow before entering into Phase 1 of the SCD Lifestyle diet. (We cut down the Intro Diet from 5 days to only 4, which is fine as long as we are fine. And I'm more than fine :D ) Tomorrow night I will prepare some Pear Sauce as our first different food to introduce into our diet! I'm super stoked about such a simple thing such as that. I feel like I'm a video game character that is upgrading myself as I go along, getting to upgrade to one food after another at a time. It's very rewarding, and I love how my body is reacting to this diet. I am witnessing the fact that the bad bacteria in me has been starved out, and I am able to proceed to get things balanced in my gut again! Just so people can get a clue as to what my gut looked like when I got a colonoscopy in January of last year, I'll post the pictures below this paragraph! I feel like those don't look as bad as other people who suffer from Ulcerative Colitis, but hey, no matter what, that's still a diseased colon, and I'm going to cure it with this diet. I feel pretty confident that I will! I already feel so good! In two years, I want to post another colonoscopy picture of my cured gut!
Food: The usual Intro Diet food, but tonight was pretty special. I made Salmon tonight and added butter on top. I felt like the butter made me feel pretty bad immediately, but that was only to my stomach and heart area. Nothing with my small or large intestines. It just felt kind of pressury. Cholesterol problems or something? It was like my body was going into shock because it hasn't had butter in so long. I don't know, but it cleared up soon after and I'll probably still play with butter every now and then. From what I researched, there is no lactose in butter. It's mostly made out of milk fat and water, which I believe is fine enough. We'll see tomorrow. We made a bunch of salmon, so I'll be going to town on it for lunch again tomorrow. Phase 1 will begin Tuesday! One more day on the Intro Diet! Woohoo!
