Juice it~
I finally got a Juicer for my bday last week! It's working better then i ever dreamed. I am getting fruits and veggies i haven't been able to digest in years and juicing them and for a change i can't even feel it digesting at all! I make some like a salad with normal salad ingredients but it takes away the pulp so i get the vitamins and so on and non of the roughage!Some i like with nothing else in it like the apples..some i like mixed.I am able to digest it all with not one prob... I am highly recommending this for my fellow bowel disease sufferers. Not only is the pulp removed but it absorbs fast and easy and it's the first time in years i can eat or drink something i can't tell i have had other then feeling energized and my guts being calm!The "salad" drinks i added balsamic vinaigrette or some dab of favorite salad dressing and it tastes the same as having a salad. i guess i wowed some ol hippees who never thought of treating it like a salad and tried all kinds of weird things to make it taste better and never thought of it like a salad..never tried any salad dressings... i don't mind most greens in a drink but some are made of a lot of water so they don't have much of any taste but lawn clippings ;)
I did much research on the best ones out there the "jack lilane" is actually the worst. For years i have wanted to do this but the juicers were so bloody expensive.. now the "juiceman" can be found for 70-80 bucks i juiced two 10lb bags of apples on LOW. The thing works wonders!it's in the top recommended juicers in consumer reports.. do it for you or someone who suffers from gut probs. it's so worth it.
i am also eating ears of corn.. you saw that right CORN! My natural meds doc has wanted to put me on a raw foods diet for years now. I couldn't because it's mostly nuts, beans and roughage. Well with this i am getting nutrients that actually digest. I tried eating corn raw and well.. i can't even tell i did. For some reason it doesn't leave looking like it did when you ate it when it's raw. I feel no pain from eating it that way either. non at all. It doesn't show up as shrapnel via the back end. I dont feel like i ate broken glass!
I also tried a new line of vitamins that has been hitting the shelves.. they figured out how to make them like a gummy fruit candy.. vit d multi vitamins,calcium all in something that actually tasted nice but more importantly absorbs really really well because it's in jell form>
I have taken the last steps and am going in for my bazilionth scope this wed. Got blood tests done i will be starting humera some time soon. i guess my doc has ways of making my insurance cover it. I am a little scared but i was with remicade and remicade made me feel much better until they started spacing out the dose along with giving me way less.. the pain came back and that group of docs took me off remicade by the 4th dose saying if the pain was coming back it was doing no good. Well it was.. they just couldn't space it out and cut me back like that! I am hoping humera will work for me. Still not thrilled about something that smothers my immune system and all the horrid side effects listed but i think the crohns is attacking my rectal muscles where the fistulas keep popping up for the last 5 yrs. Time to get better.
*fingers crossed* i know the remicade seemd to help with my Fibromy-lupus. ( they think i may have fibromialga or lupus or both but tests have all said positive but they think it's because of the crohns.. well my legs,arms feet and hands are swelling up so bad i can't hardly walk or hang on to things. The chronic fatigue showed up when the extreme joint swelling did after my hystorectomy when i was 32. That was some years ago. It's never gotten better.. as a matter of fact my feet have swollen up so much i cant wear any of my shoes!same with my hands all of the sudden my rings are all several sizes too small. Ughh i hate this. I got massive gut swelling with just my many gut surgeries and crohns but this was all diff. Funny thing being lupus runs in my family form the same great grandma inherited migraines, endomitriosis and crohn's from.. yet they question if i have the lupus too. 0-O uhh huh.
