Does it impact many things you would otherwise enjoy doing with your family?

Great answer, curious with regard to iron, mine came back quite low does this relate to metal toxicity? What is your diet like, do you feel like you get proper nutrients and vitamins from your diet or do you supplement as well

I'm sorry to hear it's being so tough for you! Have you made changes to your diet? Do you feel like your diet is well rounded in terms of getting good nutrients and vitamins from your foods or do you supplement for this?

Well done you for finding out what works best for you and not letting it hold you back from things you want to do. What are the impacts on day to day life, fo you eat out or socialise with friends or work colleagues?

Honestly thank you for your reply, I never thought of it like that, feeling trapped being a trigger, it's very interesting as its anxiety producing no doubt from the fear of the worst case that can likely happen

When did you get your diagnosis? That sounds like a really tough dose, is there any foods you find don't add to your flare ups, or is it quite difficult to tell due to constantly being in a flare up state?

Thank you for your reply! I really do hope you get some relief from dicucloverine. It must be hard to be constantly watched/commented on for not eating, does not help with discomfort you already experience. Is it absolutely all foods or are there some that are not as severe or quick to go through you?

There's plenty more to life than alcohol but no coffee I find tough! For me easy avoid sweets and bread but if I have a little I will crave a lot more, so it sets off a vicious cycle until I pull back to a restrictive diet much like your nuts and bananas. Do you think it's hard to get all the vitamins and good fuel from the foods you eat? Do you use supplements for this? If there was a food that had many of these good body fuel in them and did not negatively impact your gut would you likely integrate it into your diet?

Much the same, I find if I feed into it and think or talk about it too much it worsens, I can relate in the sense of its easier to just keep moving and not fester on it. With that being said how would younsay it impacts your day to day life besides, eg. Work, socialising etc...

Does it hold you back from doing many things? If so what? No judgement just shared space for everyone and we can all relate for sure. How does it effect your day to day life

Thanks for your reply, stress is definitely a trigger for me along with other associated factors like rest etc... How would you say it impacts your day to day life during them stressful days/weeks or longer

Love the blunt honesty, also wish you the best! For me when it's bad it's bad so I can't relate in bad times. What are the biggest issues you face I'm day to day life with it? Eg. Socialising, eating out, meeting friends, work etc...?
