I have stomach issues. I have Crohn's Disease, and have been having terrible stomach pain for the past 3+ weeks. I ended up having to miss a day of work last week to go in to the doctor and they think I have an ulcer. I go back in on Thursday to have an endoscopy done just to confirm, so for now I am on an ulcer-friendly diet. Here's what I've been eating...
Today's lunch:
a turkey hot dog with low sodium ketchup, fruit leather, garlic cheese bread, shortbread cookies and mozzarella/Colby-jack cheese cubes.This one went ok... didn't feel great afterword, but lately I don't ever feel good after eating, so I will consider it a success!
And here's what I packed for tomorrow:
Linguine noodles with mild white sauce, fruit leather, the last of my garlic cheese bread, club crackers with cheese spread and shortbread cookies.
The Bento boxes are so cute! I carry my lunch in a plastic shopping bag stuffed into my bookbag. This looks so much better.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about Crohn's disease, but I recently read a book that connected it to a lot of other food illnesses. I have Candida (a fungus growing in my body--like yeast infections). And the only thing that helps me is a VERY restrictive diet. No gluten, sugar, nuts, legumes, grains... I can only eat certain vegetables and meat. I would never usually be on this diet, but it works! The minute I eat something 'bad' my body lets me know it! If you're wondering what the book is it's The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf. You can also google Candida, low-carb diets, or the Paleo diet. I don't know if this will help you, but I figured I'd say something anyway. Hope you start feeling better!!
Thanks! My lunches are very simple and basic compared to lots of the lunches I see in blogs, but they work for me!
ReplyDeleteWow, your diet sounds hard! I cannot eat most raw fruits/veggies, very limited dairy, no red meat, nothing too acidic/spicy/fried... so I definitely know what it's like to be on a restrictive diet. Not quite like yours, but we all have our challenges. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for participating! Have you considered going gluten free? Just curious.
