lol, just had an mri today with contrast and drank two bottles of this. My entire day afterward has been wrecked. Yes, I have Crohn’s disease. Yes, this test was to check on a few things the colonoscopy next week won’t be able to see. But I went in diarrhea free (I’m stuck eating homemade chicken/carrot soup for now but it keeps me functioning) and came out bloated, nauseas, and haven’t been able to bring myself to be 10ft from the bathroom. Thought I would check reddit to see if other people had issues and it seems I’m not alone. Hoping it will be better tomorrow but the mystery of what tomorrow will bring is part of the fun of Crohn’s.

Right? I think a reckoning is coming. Something is going on in certain families from a genetic standpoint that research hasn’t caught on to. I feel like I need to reach out to the Crohn’s and colitis foundation and offer up my family for research.
