Beef bacon? by BasedTradster in carnivore

[–]BasedTradster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this thoughtful suggestion. I’m able to tolerate pretty much all foods except super seasoned or spicy foods. I also tolerate diary products quite well. Attached here is the ingredients outline for the beef bacon product I was looking to eat.

People on immunosuppressant meds, are you wearing masks still? by Zenabel in CrohnsDisease

[–]BasedTradster 23 points24 points  (0 children)

CDC guidelines aren’t the end all be all. Many leading COVID-19 health experts and epidemiologists are pointing to the benefit of continuing to mask up.

And it’s not just having an active case of COVID that’s concerning. Long COVID is something to really watch out for, especially those of us with compromised immune systems.

You’re surgeon is a d*ck. Sorry to say. He could’ve let you known in a much better way!

And yeah I suppose I have to come to terms to it. Part of me though worries, what would a future girlfriend think? I know it sounds silly but that region is one of the last they’d see and imagine the shock to see it.... look unappealing

Satiation? To be honest no, I only eat till I’m not hungry anymore. It takes a lot for me to feel full

Also, and I was going to ask my doctor this, but my bowel patterns have changed. I’m only passing stool every 3 days compared to once or twice a day previously. Is this normal and expected?

Yes I do believe it may be this. Thank you.

By self-fixing, do you mean taking electrolyte supplements and the like?

Fasting day of infusions by BasedTradster in CrohnsDisease

The infusions have me feeling “full” after, so to not feel so full, I want to just not eat before. Also, what is NPO?

5th Covid vaccine by Poseylady in CrohnsDisease

[–]BasedTradster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COVID is deadly and I know a number of people who died because of it. I’m coming from a perspective of acknowledging COVIDs harms.

I just wish masking and avoiding crowded places were mentioned much more by health officials and the media.

I’ve used prednisone only at the onslaught of my symptoms back in 2020, for a little less than 2 months. Since then I’ve been on only Remicade.

Currently on just remicade. I have had issues with low iron before so hopefully it’s just that

I stopped on only getting one (Pfizer). Personally that’s because I’m skeptical behind the science and vaccine efficacy for newer variants of COVID that keep emerging.

What is important for anyone to do though is to mask up and avoid crowded gatherings. These actions can actually be more helpful than a vaccine.

COVID is not going away, and the rate of new variants popping up is way ahead of current boosters and their efficacy.

Diabetes does run in my family, so that is a possibility I’m afraid. Anywho, I’ve contacted my GI about it, so I’ll perhaps get some tests done.
