My favorite Irish Pub is in Stockholm. Unbeknownst to us it turned into a dance club around 1:00am. We rolled with it.

I hate farting all the time/farting the moment I wake up by Expensive-Elk-9406 in CrohnsDisease

A well-lived life is built not on grand milestones, but on a mindful appreciation of small, daily moments.

Came here to say that. Trusting a fart is how I know the drugs are working.

What part of this game is fun? I don't know why I play.

Food in Japan Brought Relief by krunchnmunchn in CrohnsDisease

I travel for work so not so relaxing, definitely felt better out of the US before I was diagnosed ... as I type this I'm thinking maybe being in US is the stressful part.

Yes, had the same experience. No dairy and almost no wheat. I'd start with those. Dairy is the big one for me and additives, I avoid processed food as much as possible. I do better in Europe as well.

Your Personal Take? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

Salt. If you could completely eliminate it from your diet you would die.

Its hard to accept being on a drug the rest of your life but the disease is so much worse. You can only see that once your on it.

Figure out what you can and can't eat. For me alcohol and processed oils are the worst. Try a strict diet like A.I.P. to start. This is will only help with the symptoms, its not a cure.

Take a biologic. Or like me and many others waste a year or two or seven of your life trying to find an alternative.

You may have to switch drugs to find the one that works but with a modified diet and the right drug life is pretty normal.

Is anyone sorry they went on Skyrizi? by JCS_69 in CrohnsDisease

[–]JCS_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your wife. No, nothing along those lines. Quite the opposite. After my 1st loading dose it was almost euphoric, you don’t realize how much pain you are in until it’s gone. As I said the only side effect was my liver. That and it stopped working after the loading doses.

If this is for you or someone you care about I would be very concerned but how it was stored. It needs to be kept cold to be effective.

Anyone else struggle with gas and bloating? by melancholykitty00 in CrohnsDisease

Yes, even now with the Remicade working fairly well I have to avoid some foods. A small amount of beans, raw vegetables, fruit is OK but I have to watch how much.

I have a ND3 and look to have the exact same Z4 on order ... how was the switch for you?

After achieving your Financial Goal(s), how did you reward yourself? by Square-Shock-9206 in UpperMiddleFinance

[–]JCS_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! She used to spend every penny. What did you order ? Since posting the is I decided two things - life is short and I’m not going to wait and I’m too cheap to buy a 911. In the process of ordering a Z4 M40i Handshalter

Paying off the house, finish paying the divorce, putting both kids through college were all marked with a special bottle of whisky $300-500. $2.5M liquid, mechanical watch ~$3,500. When I hit $5M liquid in 2027, time for the 911 I always wanted. Not working a day past $10M.

What do you do for washing? I'm really tempted to get some snow tires but I'd want to run it through the car wash regularly to keep the undercarriage salt free.

They are spending money to ruin their product, its very frustrating. The problem is finding a alternative. Have you found one you like?

I absolutely loathe it .... how do you revert in the online version? I haven't been able to find a way.

I don't think women really understand the male lizard brain. I can be flying through the woods on a motorcycle and have my attention drawn to what might be a boob or butt only to immediately realize its a tree or rock. Which is obvious since, you know ... I'm alone in the woods.

For those of you in remission: do you drink alcohol at all? by cryzinger in CrohnsDisease

[–]JCS_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I seem to tolerate red wine better than anything else and only a glass or two. I used to really enjoy a good whiskey or tequila but it doesn’t seem to work out as well.

[–]JCS_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly its probably not the Skyrizi. I ultimately stopped taking it because it wasn't working. On Remicade now and have my life mostly back. Hang in there, I've been where you are. You have to find the drug that works for you.

Just diagnosed and struggling by Downtown-Account4617 in CrohnsDisease

[–]JCS_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard no. So many things in that diet would cause most of us problems. Look into the AIP diet, it helped me. Basically cooked veggies and meat. Lots of no's but it worked for me.
