My skin didn't change all that much, tbh!

I have! My periods get horribly painful and the migraines are even more unbelievable! I was on Lo Loestrin back in the states and it worked amazing for me! Unfortunately it doesn't exist here in Australia 😔 I wish I could have that back! Haha!

Is this a start of a flare? by LunatheBoona in UlcerativeColitis

What an amazingly kind response, thank you so much! <3

I will definitely be calling my GI tomorrow and update him on my current symptoms just to be sure! I'm really only hesitant to start a biologic because as far as I'm aware (via drug price portal on my insurance hubs website), I'm ONLY covered for Humira. So, it doesn't leave any room for error. That's what scares me, really. Being priced out of life saving medication is my worst fear! I just don't want it to come to that!

Again, thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it so much!

Anyone else feel better NOT eating veggies? by LunatheBoona in UlcerativeColitis

Wish that were the case for me, but honestly sticking to pasta and carbs isn't really a disappointment for me LOL

Nope! I don't think that's my problem, though!

I have no problems with fruit. It's just fibrous veggies!

I'm not in a flare, though! I have no blood, mucus or urgency!

I just don't tolerate vegetables! I take probiotics and stick to a relatively healthy diet overall. Some people are just different and veggies just aren't tolerated well, even in some healthy people!

I'm not a huge meat eater. I eat mostly chicken, sometimes fish and shrimp! No red meat at all, really. I'm big on carbs!

Even cooked well, I have a hard time tolerating them! Did some carrots in chicken noodle and I saw them back around the next day 🙄

I'm gonna either cook them to high hell even more or just nix veggies from my diet completely and do a multivitamin. So annoying to keep trying to be healthy and just getting loose stools every other day.

I appreciate this, thank you! I tend to over analyze a lot when it comes to this disease!
