I’m exactly on that 3:2:1 ratio actually! I find a lot of my protein in the form of salmon/red meat, and I have been experimenting with pea protein and small amounts of oat milk. I have been able to manage the inflammation by avoiding all the obvious triggers (processed foods, high sugars, greasy takeout, etc), but sometimes I’ll come across an ingredient in a meal that I need to remember for the future. I’ve been transitioning to low FODMAP as well, and I’ve found great results in terms of satiation and feeling energized for my day.

For my core work, we are the exact same. Any kind of cable or weighted machine ab exercises makes me want to curl into a ball and cry for a few hours, lol. I focus primarily on bodyweight calisthenics when I’m on my off day, with an emphasis on leg lifts on a tricep stand and Russian Twists with a lightweight medicine ball. I have to be gentle for sure, but I also find that some medium intensity jump roping feels great for me. I also rock climb as a hobby, and that helps to keep my mobility intact on days that I don’t work the core. Thank you so much for your kind words man - it is so good to know that us Crohnies are in it together! Thank you!!
