I have Crohn’s Disease (an autoimmune condition) and it’s not fun. Usually, it’s pretty well managed with proper medication and by avoiding certain foods, but I’ve had an unexplainable flare up lately that have had my body bloated and incredibly nauseous 24/7.
During this flare up, I’ve continued to stick to my calorie limit (under 1550 cal per day) and I’ve been eating “safe” foods (ie no dairy, grease, etc). While this diet was helping me lost 0.5-1 lb per week for the past few months, my progress has stopped altogether. I actually gained a pound overnight and haven’t lost anything for the last 10 days.
I know that this is almost primarily due to my body’s autoimmune issues and water this and that, but it can be very disheartening to see months of work stopped and reversed almost immediately because my body is throwing an internal tantrum.
Has anyone with Crohn’s Disease or another autoimmune issue experienced anything similar? It would feel nice to know I’m not alone and know there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
