Hi guys! Right now I’m in the privileged stage that thoughts about Crohn’s disease aren’t a daily thing in my life anymore. But sometimes when i feel light, happy and free thoughts pass my mind. Like “You’re eating out and even had a portion of salad without thinking about it! Salat!” Normal people wouldn’t think that this could be a huge deal but for me (and probably everyone with IBD has food types like this) it’s incredible. Also things like long-distance flights, travelling without worries, being active…no big deal at all. Sometimes I think I should watch my food intake because most of my “sick” size 0 jeans don’t fit anymore…but I know that this is a good sign. Finally gaining some weight to a healthy range is good! It’s important to build muscle and bone strength I lost in the past years over and over again. So I eat a lot and enjoy all the foods I wasn’t able to eat in years. I don’t even can imagine that just 18 months ago I was admitted to the hospital because I needed parenteral nutrition. It completely blows my mind. Things can change for the good. They surely can. -- source link
