Food porn

In germany it have a other term, so i were confused about IBS and it sounded so "soft".

I am my own boss :-D

With other words, i know best what i can and can't, after 25 years with the illness.
I had 2x a longer talk in a clinic and there were then people that learned the job 3 years and told me than whats good/bad but like "out of a book", like a checklist in the end.
Don't get me wrong, they mean it good and were, maybe, trying there best but the result was mediocre because when i needed to take 100mg Cortison daily and where each 2h hungry like i don't ate something for days, than it isn't helpful to tell someone he should not eat much (special when his weight is only around 54kg as male).
I had always pain, so of course i avoided to eat, often, for 3 days but that don't solved problems and in the clinics with 100mg cortison i were a food berserker, which means i had 5 buns + other stuff in the morning, 2 full meals at 12:00, for the evening 5 breads and between pudding, yoghurt, fruits. And as backup the astronauts drinks which should replace (for the most) meals, you need normaly 3/day ... i added 8 on top to all the food :-D
And after 4-6 weeks in the clinic i had than maybe +4 kg. Nearly each woman got envious and wanted to give me X kg from them ..... :-D

Of course are this the extremest examples.

In the end i know i can eat, a few, greek Pepperoni -they aren't so spicy as the italian ones- (i love them). Yes, it will burn 2x but i get only bigger problems when i combine it with something else that make problems or when i go over the "a few" limit, which happens in a few cases till i get reminded from my body^^ ... and than i learned the lesson for a longer time.

As example got milk and yoghurt recommended but because of the lactose problems were that in the end loke pushing each day oil in the fire and made me very heavy pains each day.
None assumed there could be a other reason as my "active bowel inflamation" and i found it only out after a surgery to cut the thick bowel completely out hadn't happened.
They sended me back home, after i was shaved and lines painted on my belly because they don't had a surgery room free. Yes, a absolute joke... but i am, in the end, happy that it happened or i would not have my thick bowel anymore (and still problems... different ones).
I weren't allowed to take my injections to supress my immun system till the next appointment for the surgery (you need to stop with it, at least, 6 weeks before the surgery) and they weren't able to say my directly when they will have the next free slot for the surgery.
So my bowel got crazy and i weren't anymore able to leave the flat. That was the only reason why i don't had milk for a longer timeframe and because of that i seen that it got better and better with each day. Of course not till a level of a healthy guy but on a level that i don't reached since many many many years. Then someone brought me milk and the fun begun again. That was the moment when i realized what the problem is/was and i am still sad, frustrated and angry on my bowel docs that none of them checked it because it is a common thing with my illness and i gave them more then enough infos that pointed very clear to it. I found that out when i readed a good bunch of stuff. So it was a shock for me how dumb/blind/lazy the docs were in this case. Maybe each one thought "a other had checked it" but it is still a weak excuse for the really heavy pains each day for years.

Back to the stuff....

I test a lot of stuff in a low ammount if i think it could make problems. As example beer, alcohol in general, mild spicy stuff etc. and i avoid a lot like all citrus fruits (which are a lot), juices with citrus fruits (which are a lot), heavy spicey stuff and so on.
Plus i calculate if i need to leave my flat at that or the next day or if it isn't so important because i don't need to go out if i will have problems because i say i want to eat spicey.
When i have appointments the next day i would not eat/drink something that could lead to problems, when i don't have appointments i decide if the taste/fun is worth the, maybe, problems after it.

Not perfect but better as to avoid all. It would not make me happy and lower my life quality by a lot.
