It's the Little Things

So a crazy thing happened to me just now.

I pooped.

Like a normal one.

I was happy and relieved, quickly realising how sad it was that I was reacting this way. Having a normal BM is not something someone gets excited about – it’s just (or should be) a normal part of life. But for me and other people living with Crohn’s or other IBS symptoms, a normal BM can make our day when our digestive systems are down.

So why get excited about a poo?

It’s probably because I haven’t passed something that normal since last Wednesday. I’m hoping this is a sign that I’m going to get better and whatever it was that was causing my digestive issues all these problems this past week has gone.

I’m cautiously optimistic about my body at the moment. I’m still terrified I’m going to have stomach pains tonight and end up spewing my guts up when I awake.

But I’m just going to take everything day by day and see how it goes.

***

Just got a call from my GI. After having a blood test yesterday, my results are in.

*drumroll please*

Unusual liver reading.

*round of applause*

This could be the cause of my digestive issues – maybe, maybe not. But it means more blood tests...great.

Welcome to Crohnie living.
