Challenge Day 3

What's my superpower?  Easy!  I can find a bathroom anywhere.  I can get to a bathroom at the speed of light.  I am able to leap small animals in a single bound.  I can push down old ladies and small children to get where I need to go.  I'm pretty powerful that way!

How special are they?

I got my eye measurements done today and found out just how special my Special Eyes are. I never bothered to ask before.  I was kinda shocked myself when I found out.  My right eye is -25 and my left eye is -28.  Severe Myopia (or Nearsightedness) is anything between -6 and -9.  Extreme Myopia is anything greater than -9.  I have Myopia TO THE EXTREME !!  That's pretty special if you ask me!

Kefir-rific!

I met with the dietitian and we decided instead of going full FODMAP diet crazy, I should slowly make changes to what and how I eat.  These changes include Kefir - a really tart, really odd tasting, thick milk byproduct that has more and different probiotics than yogurt and it has a ton of protein - which I am supposed to be getting more of.  Like 80-90 grams of protein a day.  And I have to take the Kefir in small amounts throughout the day so it "replants" my guts continually.  It's not bad in plain form but it's better in a smoothie.  I'm pretty much smoothie-ing everything and trying to eat little bits throughout the day instead of just one or two huge meals.  I'm also lowering the amount of fat I intake at one time. And I'm trying to be mostly gluten free. Trying being the operative word here.  I'm supposed to take a ton of supplements and stuff but I haven't gotten them yet.  I need to make this transition a little slower.  I don't want...

TrialSpark Is Making A Difference In IBD Research And Here's Why

Way back in 2010, I went to Indiana University/Purdue University Hospital (IUPUI) for some testing on my pancreas and common bile duct. There are several posts about it if you want to go back and read more, but the one thing you won't find is that they asked me if I wanted to be part of a clinical trial. I said absolutely - until I realized what it was exactly. Long story short, it involved suppositories and that was NOT about to happen, so I didn't do it. Regardless, I have always been interested in clinical trials and wondered why I have never been asked to be a part of one by any of the doctors I have seen - the doctors who cannot figure out exactly what it is that is wrong with me or seem to find a decent medication to help me. Certainly it isn't because of my aversion for suppositories.  But what do clinical trials do anyway? What's the point of them? Here's the 411. (Do people even say, "here's the 411" anymore?) I don't know. But here i...
