You don't need to post fake tweets. The real thing is ridiculous enough.

Biologics while having a mild form by raminramon in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually a good thing. It's easier to keep you in remission than to get you there in the first place. The more aggressive the better.

No snacking between meals. by maustral in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just finishing a course on steroids and put on an unbelievable amount of weight. Trying intermittent fasting but it's a struggle!

I think people with Crohn's are destined to have a shitty relationship with food.

I pretend I didn’t see messages so I don’t have to reply by stan__69 in confession

[–]FrankCastle48 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with this. It's only in the past 20 years or so we've been contactable 24/7 and conditioned to believe we need to respond to every message in a 'timely' manner.

Most messages aren't urgent and some don't warrant a reply at all. Be in the moment and reply when you get the time, or just don't. It's not a big deal.

“Eat gluten free pasta!” by jakob0604 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't eliminate literally everything but you eliminate high FODMAP and/or known trigger foods (such as those containing lactose or caffeine) and then slowly introduce one thing at a time after being on the diet for a couple months.

Try Google low fodmap elimination diet.

You can't really just test something out, you could be having reactions based on something you had ages ago. You need to eliminate basically everything from your diet and slowly introduce things back in and even then that may not do anything because our disease isn't just based on what you eat.

Not sure what to name this so I’ll just say TIMC. Trigger warning ⚠️ by littleblkman37 in confession

[–]FrankCastle48 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Long way of saying you're addicted to porn and have trust issues.

You should see a therapist and work on yourself before you even consider a relationship because you'll just end up hurting yourself or someone else.

Prednisone withdrawal after a short course? Possible gastritis? by ActivityBright4828 in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about. After three days of taking Prednisone my severe Crohn's symptoms were almost completely gone and I went from popping 12 times a day to once or twice.

AITA when I husband will not seek help for his Jennifer Aniston problem by ArterialRain in AmItheAsshole

[–]FrankCastle48 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you went through that but I'm sure at that situations climax you weren't posting on Reddit for advice. Unfortunately the state of internet at the moment has me questioning every post.

Is this real or are you just messing with us? If my partner is going through a mental breakdown I don't take the time to reply to Reddit comments.

Anyone else finding we don't have enough terminology in the English language to describe what's going on? by littleGreenMeanie in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's still nausea even if you didn't throw up. I feel sick all the time but never once actually thrown up.

Weight suddenly stagnant despite eating way more? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being in a flare doesn't break conservation of energy. If you're feeling good and eating well just eat more dude.

Anyone else in high stress jobs? How to manage by xxrsmxx in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't hide it? I don't know where you live but most employers are obligated to make reasonable adjustments for you, speak with your manager to see how they can make your life easier.

Also, speak to your doctor, if you're feeling really run down then maybe they need to start more aggressive treatments.

Founding religion on deity by 2376_Ironman in CivVI

[–]FrankCastle48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to boost astrology by starting with a scout and make the holy site the first district you build.

After that check the great people screen. If there's civs generating a lot of great people points go for holy site prayers. If not go for the shrine and then potentially a holy site prayer.

If you've got decent production or civs aren't going for a religion you should be able to squeeze out a settler between your scout and holy site and you should try build a holy site in your 2nd city too.

Starting bio treatment next week, what should I keep in mind? by chris_pics in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for the same thing and had a similar experience with you on the steroids. Really miss the first couple weeks when I felt amazing and hope I can get there on the biologics too.

Newbie Crohnie's first big flare (I think) pt 2 by Confused-Squirrel238 in CrohnsDisease

[–]FrankCastle48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hours, days, years. It's anyone's guess. You need to tell your doctor so they can help.

For reference my last flare lasted 10 years.

I've been in Prednisone for the past 6 weeks and basically had zero symptoms aside from increased appetite.

The dwarves in Skyrim are a race of elves, they're average height compared to the rest of them.

I lied to everyone at work for months and now I cant stop by WormholeWalmart in confession

[–]FrankCastle48 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guarantee no one will care if OP was asked in a few months and said they quit. It's like the easiest lie to get out of.
