Well that sucked.
Today, I saw my GI doc for the follow from my colonoscopy and "sample" tests and bloodwork.
The verdict: I don't have C-Diff. I have ulcerative colitis.
What does that mean?
I have no idea, and each article I encounter contradicts the previous one. It's an autoimmune response to something something something and I should eat..... Protein. No, wait. No protein. Fruits and veggies. Oh wait, no fruits and veggies. High fiber, no wait. Low fiber diet. That's the key.
All I can figure out so far is that I need to cut out the coffee and other forms of caffeine. The other thing I think I know is that dairy is not a good idea. So I must bid farewell to my old friends Benjamin and Jerome.
This isn't going to be easy, and now I see the point of this blog. Sure. I'll still ramble on about whatever foolish notions cross my little brain, and I'm sure that I'll have some occasional moments of brilliant insight, well... maybe not brilliant, but at least inspired.
But now I know what's wrong.
I think.
