i have had a very good couple of weeks lately but today, not so good- kind of felt like before the meds (entocort). i wonder why, i wonder if it was something i ate and if so, what??? i do keep a food diary and have not really changed much in my diet, so i am just confused and i am going to try not to get discouraged...hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Hi Willabec, yes I know it can be so frustrating if things go so well and than out of the blue things get worse again. Especially if you did nothing different from normal. Yes I am familiar with thing going very well and than getting worse again. But in my case it always had something to do with food. As long as I stay on my extremely basic simple diet I am doing fine, but when I change a thing, read adding more ingredients to it, I am doing worse again and normally takes me a week to go back to normal. Even one time I remembered, that I was almost desperate wondering what I did wrong that day, when I later discovered that day I didn't take the entocort in morning.

I see you are only gluten free, and you joined the board here about 6 weeks ago. It sometimes happens that gluten free works for a while and that than other intolerances like soy or milk take over and become a new target for the immune system. If it keep on going bad, maybe you could try to avoid milk, and if that doesn't work either soy too. But maybe you are already soy and milk free and am I giving you useless advice.

Anyway don't give up, it took a lot of us, at least a couple of months to figure what they can and can't eat. In my case it was about after 9 months I started really doing and feeling better. That was when I decided stop experimenting with any type of ingredient (including herbs and spices, new type of fruits, vegetables) and stick to the plain - food from scratch - 10 ingredient diet.

anyway good luck with it and I really hope you will be doing well soon again.

Willabec,

So sorry to hear that you are not feeling well - that is so hard! Could you be coming down with something? I know my gut is so sensitive, that any little thing I get - hits my gut hard, never turns into a biggie illness-wise, but just gut-wise.

Take care - Take care of yourself!
