Sugar Overload!
I got a call from the nurse a few days ago with my biopsy results confirming that I have active inflammation. Doesn't that mean active crohn's? The doctor did say he felt we had it enough under control. So good news, bad news...I don't know? Could be a lot worse, huh? I'm sitting here on a Sunday night all depressed because I ate like total shit over the weekend. It's the same thing week after week, some weeks worse that others. I do pretty good all week and by the weekend I'm crap. I'm not completely depriving myself during the week either. I had bought a huge tub of butter cream icing to decorate a birthday cake for my daughter. For the last 2 days I've been eating spoonful after spoonful. I'm supposed to be following the SDC here! I've also slipped and had a few diet cokes :o(. I try to not be hard on myself but when I do as bad as I did today it's hard not to. ONCE AGAIN, tomorrow's a new day.

Yes tomorrow is a new day full of great potential for happiness.
Wish I knew what the nurse meant. Maybe you should call and just ask her. I\'m tired of always being the the dark. We are paying them for answers, right.
I see the Infectious Disease specialist tomorrow am. Hope he\'s good and asks all the right questions. Woke up this am with shaking chills and temp of 101.8??
who knows right? I felt better as the day went on.
If you are not sure what the nurse meant, you should call her back and find out for sure.....you are not the only one that can\'t stay from sugar, my biggest downfall, I love everything with sugar, Dr. told me to drink decaf coffee but still put sugar in it, and I love my snacks....being sick really sucks doesn\'t it. We try to do the best that we can, none of us is perfect,don\'t be so hard on yourself. Have a blessed,peaceful day.
OK, I am a sugar-holic. (Can we start a support group for this?) I have given up diet soda, but I allow myself a regular coke once in awhile. So far, not a probelm, and when I know it is not completely out of my diet, it helps me stay \'good\'.
