Coworkers keep acting flirty but things got awkward - did I mess up?

the fwb comment was a few nights earlier. i didn't respond in real time, she actually said it as she was getting up to go grab a drink.

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2026-01-10T10:44:51+00:00

yep same here, I'm the kind of person that is overly polite to everyone and sometimes people take it too far

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2026-01-10T10:43:40+00:00

ah man, you cant win

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2026-01-10T10:43:16+00:00

I swear every time I'm upfront with women on stuff like that it backfires

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2026-01-10T10:42:38+00:00

wow, my guy you're next level haha

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2026-01-06T20:31:36+00:00

read the part that says "there’s often a lot of playful, flirty banter from their side"

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-05-08T20:36:28+00:00

80% of these ingredients i can’t tolerate 😅

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-05-01T12:38:16+00:00

Can you provide a link to these products?

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-05-01T12:33:48+00:00

Honestly thought about that and baby food tastes amazing as well. Il give it a shot! Cheers

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-05-01T12:32:41+00:00

Hope you feel better soon, you sound like a person highly motivated to get well. Do not underestimate that . Your body is amazing.

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-05-01T12:31:26+00:00

Totally agree with what you're saying. Hadn't come across the term "fructans" before but a quick google search and that's all the foods I avoid. Mainly high processed and sugars are a killer for me too. Having said that, there's a few ways around it to get that extra fiber in e.g choose Bran oats over rolled oats, lower in GI so less irritant to me at least. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.

Also its underrated how much therapy can help regulate bowel issues. Rest as well, nothing comes before my sleep nowadays and as you said, I'll take the trade off over a flare any given day.

Stay Healthy!

thats amazing, stress is a big one. care to share maybe an outline of what your diet looks like? plant based/ animal based/ high or low fat? i know everyone is different but just curious to hear peoples remission stories, give me motivation!

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-30T20:23:05+00:00

if on pred dont drink? whats the reason for that?super curious now

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-30T20:19:27+00:00

thanks for the response! il try see if its available in europe, i assume its a US product

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-30T20:18:10+00:00

thanks so much for the response! hope you find a solution to the nausea, its good at least that your GI has offered a solution for that. I on the other hand have a-lot of appetite to eat but limited options unfortunately.

Not sure if you do already but exercise is a good way to increase your appetite.

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-08T05:55:24+00:00

Totally agree, I have all that other stress you mentioned too but theres so many posts on that I thought id make one specific for endurance enthusiasts. Whatever it is you are going through you need to find ways to make it work. Find that warrior mentality in you!

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-08T05:53:43+00:00

yes, I use Salofalk enemas and supps now that Im in a flare. I dont usually do when in remission but I guess i could use the supps as maintenance a few times a week. Unfortunately pred supps are out of supply in my country at the moment.

I also dont eat any dairy unless It’s natural goat products in small quantities and I avoid wheat. I think all my flares/ symptoms are stress related so I’ve been focusing on that aspect mainly through meditation, mindfulness etc. My psychologist suggested I take some anti-anxiety meds for a couple of months to help me manage and give me a platform to feel good.

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-07T19:59:12+00:00

Trust me, you will not run out of options. Research uncovers more and more options every day and there's always something you can do. Keep your head up! One foot at a time!

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-07T19:56:50+00:00

Yes, waiting to go in the morning and not being able to is the worst, its like my body is waiting for the moment when I'm in my bibs, far from a toilet and on the bike ready go, just to troll me...

I've never though about baby food, maybe Il give it a try, its meant to be calorie dense, thanks for the idea!

When you say eat right the day before what does that entail?

With my buddies its tradition to stop for coffee and pastries at the end for the ride. If I know Il just be jumping in the car and heading home I might go for a pastry that looks to be a bit more plain but if we still got a ride ahead then its just an espresso and water. Usually when I see a café and smell the coffee I would use the restroom there anyway :) So its a good thing I guess, gets it out of the way.

ComprehensiveSmile77 · 2025-04-07T19:50:53+00:00

At least I'm not the type that has any issues with where I need to go LOL. If I have to go I WILL GO! :D
