I'm running out of titles for these...

Okay! So as some of you may know, I got to swallow a camera yesterday! Biggest pill I have ever seen... at least an inch long, and the width was— YIPE! I'm surprised I managed to swallow it! So far it hasn't passed yet, and I really hope it does soon! Pretty sure the camera is the reason my stomach is cramping some... I am also worried it'll get stuck, but that's a small chance, so I just need to stop worrying! 😅

Okay! So I also went to see a nutritionalist yesterday. For a week at least, I have to avoid peas, corn, gluten, sugar, and peanuts. I get to have almonds still, so yay! And I can eat all the beef I want, it isn't an issue! (See stepdad? Beef ain't an issue!) Oh, also no pork, no dairy unless it is raw milk, and no potatoes... but! The diet may not be permanent, we go back in a week or so to talk more in depth about what we're going to do!

Even if this diet is permanent, I'll bet I can still have certain things every once in awhile. Like, sugar on holidays at least. Plus we cut out a lot of sugar in our baking, and use raw sugar, so that's a little better. XD

I have five different supplements to take, too, so that'll be something to get used to... I think I have a total of fifteen pills I have to swallow every day, plus I'm still on two medications from the hospital. I have one week left of steroids, then I have this one other pill I have to take twice a day or something. But, the point of seeing the nutritionalist is doing things naturally so that I won't have to be on meds the rest of my life, so eventually, that pill is going bye-bye! I getta do things naturally, no side effects! Yay!

So even if I have to give up certain foods, I can learn to manage if it means I'm going to feel better. Healthy living is a great thing, after all!

Besides, they do make rice pasta, and I'm sure that they make gluten free tortilla shells... now to just find a chip I can have with my salsa! Since I can't have potatoes or corn... and tortilla chips are made with corn... ah well... not everything is all figured out yet, so nothing is for certain!

Oh! I also have a weak heart, weak bowels (that one an obvious one, since I was diagnosed with Crohn's), and both adrenal glands are weak. Apparently usually one adrenal gland is weak, but both of mine are. The nutritionalist says that he's confident I will do just fine, though! One of these days, my organs will be as strong as needed, my Crohn's will be in remission, and I'll be just fine!

Thank you to those who have been praying for me and wishing me well! God bless! ❤️
