I find healthy eating hard at the best of times
I love chocolate and generally anything with sugar
I can’t go a day without it
…
I get told often how changing my diet will help my chronic illness
Maybe lessen my pain, improve my fatigue and my IBS
But it really isn’t that easy
…
For starters a lot of healthier foods disagree with me now
Every few weeks another food is added to that list
Melon and eggs now upset my stomach among other things
…
Anything that I’ve eaten for years may suddenly worsen my symptoms where they never did before
My IBS can be flared by almost anything
Sticking to what I know my body can cope with seems to be the only way
…
Diets don’t really work for me anymore
I only find cutting down on everything I eat helps
A little less chocolate, fewer calories in the day
…
I’m still learning what my body can and can’t tolerate
It’s a slow process and I have to be so careful about what I eat
Even the slightest change in diet can affect me massively
