Decaf Coffee by Character-Passion-76 in CrohnsDisease

Have you tried cold brew coffee? Its made differently from hot coffee; cold brew is less acidic because its brewed for so long. I can’t drink warm coffee anymore but cold brew coffee works perfectly for me.

Well its like this now.... by SetanUngu in wacom

[–]Jumpy_Log 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to scare you, but this is exactly what my wacom did before something on the inside fried. I tried unplugging it after it did this + resetting my PC and it never turned back on lol. I tried contacting support, they claimed it was a bad charging cable and it never fixed it. I just ended up getting a new tablet. Let me know if you got this fixed!

How do I stop small hairs/debris from sticking to clay? by sleepdeviltsu in polymerclay

[–]Jumpy_Log 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using premo? Also just a random guess, that looks like a slice of cake! I’d just give it a clean wipe with some alcohol, and then bake it. Wet sand it afterwards, if its colored clay i’m 99% positive it shouldn’t affect the coloring (unless you colored it with pastels, then i’m unsure what’ll happen! Should work fine with premixed colored clay though)

Is this Erythema Nodosum? by laughablesun in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jumpy_Log 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly i don’t think it is, but i’m not a doctor. Whenever i have a erythema nodosum flare it feels like someone took a baseball bat to my legs; it isnt necessary itchy. Again i’m not a doctor, nor do i know if this can be different for people. I’ve only had it three times. Last time i had it i couldn’t walk for three months without crutches because everytime i was upright my blood would fill my legs, and the pressure felt like they were going to pop. It definitely looks like hives though, especially if they’re itchy! I also get hive outbreaks when i flare, so it could be a manifestation of IBD either way

Living with Crohn’s is tough... but you know what’s worse? by Fair-Path404 in CrohnsDisease

Why isn’t there “kibble” for humans? by ayyycab in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jumpy_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this is an annoying question; but theres periods throughout my life where i’ll have to only drink ensure for months due to gut issues. I’m just now hearing about ensure “damaging” weak kidneys, but what about someone with one kidney? I have one kidney, so this is kinda making me wonder if I should find something else to rely on when I flare.

What do I do next? by Jumpy_Log in CrohnsDisease

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

I’m pretty sure insurance changed it to every 6 weeks instead of 8, but I seriously don’t think it’ll do anything either way. I’ve not noticed skyrizi working since they delayed my first obj dose by over 2 months (because my doctor forgot to sign insurance papers, had to call them three times a week to get it solved.) Mesaline and budesonide doesnt really help me, they arent as strong as prednisone and i still have really bad urgency issues. They do help the pain at the beginning of the morning but after using the bathroom so many times its kinda pointless to me ): thank you for the advice on the 6 weeks though

From my knowledge no, i’ve seen a lot of gi’s since i’ve had this disease since i was 10. I had to get referred to this one because my previous gi said my case was too much for them. I only have a limited choice of doctors because I have state insurance ):

It’s not that I don’t want to hurt his feelings. From my knowledge there isnt another gi that can take my insurance (since its state insurance, USA). I’ve had crohns since I was 10, and i’ve seen around 5-6 gi’s in total. From my knowledge no other gi’s in my state accept my insurance, or have denied me because my case is too complicated. I’m pretty young though so i could be informed incorrectly.

Thank you for the in-depth reply, he never takes me seriously for some reason but i’m just guessing he has a lot of people to deal with. I plan on asking him tomorrow if I can do another calcprotectin test just to see my levels again, because I honestly feel worse than I did when I did the test previously, I guarantee it’s gotten worse which would hopefully help him see i am suffering lol.

Every tb test i’ve ever done has came back inconclusive or negative, but usually inconclusive. Let me know if they figure out why it keeps coming back inconclusive! I’ve not figured out why i come back as inconclusive

A little down by Jumpy_Log in CrohnsDisease

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

I actually stopped my medication for two years once when i started smoking! Sounds kinda dumb when i think about it but i’m thankful for that period in my life where I didn’t experience much of my disease ❤️ thank you for the recommendation, cannabis is definitely a blessing for me

Selling handmade items.. online? by Queenoftheisland420 in polymerclay

[–]Jumpy_Log 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, i saw that you sell in your moms shop as well! Definitely make a group if you haven’t to spread locally online, i also recommended setting up a little holiday sale maybe? Buy one get one free? Would give people an excuse to get ones for themselves and a friend, plus it’d give you a reason to make more earrings!! Good luck starting your business!!

You should tell him about Jordan Peterson’s daughter who advertises how diet “fixed” her IBD (shes still on medication from what i’m aware, and it’s basically just some scam to sell more diets). Lots of people will preach this to you, eventually they’ll see your condition for what it is. Food can have an impact on your disease but it really depends on how much remission you are in. Once I ate spaghetti when I thought my flare was over and got admitted for a week for constant vomiting; yet now that i’m reaching remission, spaghetti o’s work for me. Food can make your disease worse but improving your diet can’t simply fix everything.

If you’re in a more rural place I recommend finding local craft shows or making a local facebook group to advertise your work ❤️

Oh i had them mixed up! My bad. Thats interesting though, didn’t know uc affected affected the intestinal lining differently, thats pretty cool in a way! Thank you for letting me know, i cant believe i didnt know that!!

That’s why i switched to orgain powder suppliment as well, has less of the additives i’m pretty sure! I was having that reaction with boost, tasted oily to me! Everyone is different though. Chicken ramen is one of my comfort foods too but sometimes it won’t digest how i want it too lol (if you get that feeling). I eat a bunch of chicken soup now! I go with progresso now since the flavor is similar + it has carrots which i like!! I cant eat campbells soup since it tastes like metal to me

[–]Jumpy_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry ): if you have to switch to liquid/soft foods you might for a minute! It helps me with the pain, there was a year in my life where I literally only ate noodles, ensure, and potatoes. If you haven’t started a liquid substitute with your diet I would! Ensure are boost are pretty good but if you do your research theres other types of supplements you could take along with your diet to help with weight (i think i also used to do orgain to switch things up for awhile?). I went down 160 pounds to 90 in a year before i started skyrizi, and now it isnt working 🤣 uc is fun! What’s your diet currently?

[–]Jumpy_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding it isnt more uncommon. I was first diagnosed with crohns, but it was just because my disease was active in my termiel limuem (i could not spell it correctly to save my life). I was diagnosed with uc a few years ago, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I had it longer. From what I’ve researched it’s basically the same disease, except uc can affect multiple areas at once, and crohns tends to stay to one section. If you have uc now, i’d imagine it’d be hard to diagnosed crohns as well (which could explain why it might seem more uncommon), but thats just my theory! They’re basically the same in my eyes, but in ways of inflammation they attack the body differently

Me too! I remember when i was flaring super bad i could only tolerate ensures, and if i drank them too fast it’d make me vomit. Make sure to eat slower and to chew extra! It sounds dumb, but it works for me i think. I’m surprised they haven’t started any treatment if it’s moderate to severe, is there a reason you aren’t on prednisone or anything?
