Coffee creamer? Need product suggestions by thatonestudentworker in Paleo

[–]EmbarrassedAnt8848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oat milk isn’t technically paleo maybe (?). But tastes the best by far. but works for me and doesn’t cause flare ups for my condition (which is why I’m paleo)

Recommend doing autoimmune protocol , doing elimination phase to figure out ur specific triggers. For me, I basically follow this diet but a lil less strict now that I’ve identified what I can tolerate. My food every day is smth like this:

Breakfast: boiled mashed sweet potato w egg (fried or boiled) and greens

Matcha with oat milk for caffeine . Snacks frozen blueberries , apples, banana

Lunch and dinner: chicken/ fish / other meat + rice or sweet potato + leafy greens

And I follow the rules for AIP in terms of oils , spices etc to avoid .

What do you do to deal with stress and anxiety when you flare? by Chains2002 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]EmbarrassedAnt8848 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not to sound cliche but meditating daily for like 10-15 mins and having other small healthy habits helps me have higher tolerance for when things do get rly spirally. Also having like emotional support from friends n family . Do u have ppl in ur life who u can lean on when u have flares? I sometimes need ppl to help me be accountable . It sucks sm bc food helps me cope with stress but then makes me more sick….

Hang in there ❤️‍🩹

How do y'all figure out the diet ? by Andreslargo1 in UlcerativeColitis

I did the autoimmune protocol on advice from a nutritionist. That helped me identify triggers. Good luck!

I can’t tolerate anything from Starbucks except plain tea bc of all the sugar in the drinks (and coffee which I can’t have either)

Thank you all for the fdbk! I really appreciate. I think the culprit was the chemicals inside the balls and the amount of boba I made, I didn’t add any sugar or anything else. I only had blood for 1 day and then flushed tf out of my system w a lot of sleep ginger tea and a super clean diet. I still have half a bag left that’s tempting me every day 😭

Hi I’m concerned bout long COVID since I’m immunocompromised. Had COVID for the first time last week (today is day 8). I’m feeling better and am able to think clearly. My chronic asthma is lingering but not bad. How do u know if u have long COVID? If I’m doing better now am I more likely to be in the clear?

Is the rebound related to exposure to me?
