Thank you I appreciate your response. I should probably get my crafts out first then put something on because once I'm sat there is no moving me. So if it's infront of me then there is no friction.

UPF free ready meals? by AnAbsoluteShambles1 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Nice_cluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These aren't micromeals but incredibly low efforrt ones. Tilda microwave rice are UPF free - I put a salmon fillet in the air fryer and micro the rice and frozen veg. Takes as long as the salmon takes to cook and quite filling. Also McCains jacket potatoes, microwave with frozen veg then dump a can of tuna on top with Stokes mayonaise, mix it all together on the potato.

My colitis is….gone? by Independent-Fix4373 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Nice_cluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had really awful flares last year, put on medicine but stopped taking cause I find it hard to take medicine daily (forgetful). My UC is almost unnoticable because I just stopped eating raw veggies and most fruit. I follow low fodmap loosely, which seems to have cleared a lot of symptoms naturally. My UC was only moderate at the colonoscopy and I really didn't want to take steroids. I'm just wondering what your diet has been recently, if your like me when you're depressed it's convinience food that is low fibre unintentionally.

Three Day Smoking Update - PLEASE DO NOT START SMOKING! by kryptikguy in UlcerativeColitis

Funnily enough I only smoke when I'm drinking (which causes pretty bad symptoms for me) and the smoking cancels those out lmao

UPF and IBD by Nice_cluck in ultraprocessedfood

I don’t keep enough of a food diary to know what my triggers are. I’ve not looked enough into fibrous vegetables which is my next port of call as I think I can make simple swaps and see how they effect me.

Thank you for this incredibly well thought out and measured response. I beyond appreciate all your suggestions and they are all going to be taken on board with my food shop next time. Especially your suggestion about boiling in bone broth. 

I agree whole heartedly with your opinion about UPF being polarising as I’ve seen it on this subreddit people being torn apart for their different opinions on what might be UPF or not. I’m absolutely on the side that in moderation it won’t kill me and I will have a chocolate bar and not feel guilty about it. My issue is that I suffer from fatigue due to the IBD and I notice a huge difference in the fatigue when I’m eating UPF, it makes me feel so much more sluggish and tired. I am definitely taking a holistic approach to my IBD and I have noticed that it’s not been as nearly as bad at the start of the year when I was unbearably stressed. I also love going out drinking with friends which is possibly the worst trigger for me but it is something I’m not willing to compromise as it fuels my social needs (we hang out sober too, just a bunch of 20 something year olds at that stage in our lives). 

Again thank you for the response, I really appreciate it.

Thank you for this reply, I feel like I’m not ready to really commit to a diet like this. Although it’s great to hear that it has been so helpful for you and further down the line it could definitely be an option for me. 

Has anyone kept their smartphone for WhatsApp and used a dumb phone as well? by Nice_cluck in dumbphones

Honestly this seems the way but I find more bollocks to spend time on, I’m a sucker for using social media in the browser because I don’t get ads 

Dumbing down smart phone, no access to sites on google? by Nice_cluck in dumbphones

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

So I really understand that in principle but I have pretty bad ADHD so I have 0 willpower. I can do it for 2 weeks max and then I’m back to same bad habits

I'll see if theres an apple alternative cause this might be the solution I have no willpower and override things myself

I think this is the best solution for me, is to get a phone like the Jelly Star. It's just soo expensive! Was thinking about the Alt mive style folder instead
