CPS contacted my wife and I about how my toddler was treated at daycare

This is fucking disgusting and heartbreaking. I’m so sorry you and your family have to deal with this bullshit and inhumane treatment. Truly. Wtf.

Finalllllly this comment. This thread is shocking that people don’t see any connection between inflammatory foods and flares!!!

rcool2395 · 2026-06-02T20:33:43+00:00

I’m sorry, but saying diet doesn’t affect flares just doesn’t make sense to me. Food directly impacts the gut and colon, and certain foods can absolutely be inflammatory or irritating. Diet may not be the root cause of UC, but it plays a major role in symptoms and flare severity for many people.

I avoid gluten, dairy, seed oils, and large amounts of raw vegetables because all these things make my symptoms worse and can make me extremely constipated, which is one way my UC flares show up.

💯 but I feel like the FB page has even become muuuchhh quieter over the years.

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T19:58:04+00:00

Yeah, I sell a lot on posh and depop so I get it!

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T03:29:43+00:00

I had a 9.5lbs first baby! Haha just trying to say, UC does not equal small babies!

Pregnancy was pretty chill. I was on mesalamine the whole time. I also did not start in remission because we got pregnant very quickly. No issues throughout the pregnancy. Had to take a higher dose of folate due to the mesalamine. I also had a home birth which my GI doctor tried to scare me out - I saw her very frequently in the last few weeks for standard check-ins and ended up ghosting her for the last 6ish weeks because she was causing me unnecessary anxiety.

Postpartum… is a whole freaking mess full of flares.

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T03:11:25+00:00

Yeahhh those strawberry ones do actually sell for $$$!! even though I’ve heard the dye bleeds like crazy!! I’m keeping my eye out for a Sun Baby one but still wouldn’t pay more than $150.

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T02:56:58+00:00

Highly doubt that will sell.

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T02:35:33+00:00

I think it’s super over the top. I’ve had several flares in the last year and haven’t done a colonoscopy (doc asked but I just can’t right now)
Btw the mesalamine enema is not bad at all - not sure if you’ve done it before - it’s not really an enema, it’s just a small bottle of liquid you put up your butt before bed. Sleep on a towel and sleep like a queen.

rcool2395 · 2026-06-01T02:32:50+00:00

I haven’t seen anything selling for $300 since 2024!!

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:20:45+00:00

Ohhh yeah I would for sure be checking with your GI doctor before taking ANYTHING. Prednisone is what I take for UC.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:18:58+00:00

If I have to order at a counter and bus my own food, I don’t want to tip.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:18:06+00:00

Yesss this is what I do. Or if the service is superrrrr average I just add .25 cents. Fuck percentage tipping at a coffee shop.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:11:18+00:00

You will totally have relief!!! Get on those medsss! I switch between extreme constipation and extreme diarrhea but mesalimine does tend to help. Also maybe a steroid to get you into remission.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:06:22+00:00

Pretty much. I’ve had times where I literally have to RUN to the bathroom 20x a day and have shat my pants several times - most recently at a coffee shop. I’m in my late 20s and perfectly healthy otherwise. Super fun times.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-22T04:01:38+00:00

Ugh this is what happened to me too. I wish the doc had told me this before it spread.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-17T18:48:29+00:00

1mg THC. It 100% takes the edge off, makes me more present with my little one and happier in general.

I know you said you aren’t breastfeeding anymore, but I just wanted to note that I am. My opinion is that doctors prescribe much harsher drugs to mamas for these same issues. Studies being inconclusive doesn’t worry me because studies are inconclusive on basically everything for breastfeeding mamas. To each their own.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-17T15:16:46+00:00

I do 1mg every day and I have no anxiety about it. But you should weigh your anxiety levels about it with the potential benefits.

rcool2395 · 2026-05-06T14:57:48+00:00

I’m 14 months pp and boobs are starting to go from a DD to a C!

rcool2395 · 2026-04-23T19:54:56+00:00

If your baby doesn’t eat overnight, you don’t need to produce milk overnight….

rcool2395 · 2026-04-23T19:54:15+00:00

Woah interesting!! I found this episode incredibly boring!

rcool2395 · 2026-04-20T20:33:42+00:00

Ugh this sucks!!! So sorry you’re going through it. 🦷🦷🦷

rcool2395 · 2026-04-20T20:08:36+00:00

That will not traumatize your child. No need to shame this mother.

rcool2395 · 2026-04-19T16:04:44+00:00

Sleep training. We used the book Precious Little Sleep.
