OK, let’s see if I can get this journal entry to save this time.  This is the third time of writing. So it’s been a while and since I’m feeling pretty good I thought I’d update my journal.  I have been feeling fairly energetic and motivated for a few days now.  I feel like exercising, cleaning the house, washing the car, decorating the house – it’s nice to feel this way since I usually feel so tired….I almost feel like the old me is back! Can’t say I’ve made any drastic changes.  Still taking the asacol and supplements (aloe vera juice, L-Glutamine, fish oil, NAG).  I have started taking probiotics more frequently – can’t say I’ve managed to take them every day – maybe every other day for two or three weeks. I have been paying attention to what I eat, I am trying to get my vitamins through the food I eat so I’ve started eating breakfast – cereal or a cereal bar which is a good start on the vitamins.  I’ve been careful about the cereal I eat – none of this harsh fiber type stuff – mainly corn or rice based. The test to my wellness will come with my next period, which always seems to play havoc with my ulcerative colitis. Will leave it here, hope this overall feeling of wellness will continue….it’s been a long time coming!
