"Feeling meh , not good , not bad . But my list of foods I can’t have is getting longer and longer so that’s fun . My appointment with the gastro doctor is in a month’s time , so hopefully will be referred for the camera test , trying to keep positive but hard when your body is fighting against you . Mental health has been awful, have so many triggers and bad days but I can get through it 😊

  1. Hi , my heart goes out to you. I know many in our community can completely relate. Staying positive can certainly be challenging when you're not feeling well. I truly hope you know our community is here to support you anytime, especially on those bad days. Please don't hesitate to reach out. Sending hugs. -Jessica, IBD Team Member

  2. I'm sorry you aren't feeling the best but I hear such strength in your voice and positivity. That is excellent. This journey is hard and remaining positive and strong mentally is half the battle. We will always have our ups and down, and we are allowed to be human and struggle. But the important thing is that we continue fighting and never lose hope. I hope your upcoming appointment offers you the info you need to better your health. Are you currently on any treatment to help with symptoms? I know how hard it is to not be able to hardly eat anything. -Elizabeth (team member)

  3. Thankyou so much that means more than you know , it’s true and I’m definitely feeling it . I’m currently on medication that i take 20 minutes before eating and it stop me going to the toliet right after I eat , that has helped so much . But I can’t eat without that medication which clearly that’s not normal , so just waiting for my phone call appointment with the gastro doctor xx

  4. I hope you get some answers during your appointment. When was the last time you had a colonoscopy? -Elizabeth (team member)

  5. so I had one about a year ago I think and they said they didn’t see anything so needed further investigation, but I’m so worried that I’m not going to be Listened to and I don’t have a lot of faith in doctors xxxxxxx

  6. I hear you. There are always bad apples in every industry. Are you able to see another doctor and ask for a colonoscopy. Get a different set of eyes looking at your case? -Elizabeth (team member)
