just one of those moments of why me?... I have days where I am completely thankful for my stoma and the new lease of life it’s given me and I have days where I really just think why? Why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why can’t I look like all the other girls I see? Why can’t I have a normal body? Will I ever not have fatigue? Today is one of those days.. I feel sad and lost and I rarely talk about how I feel when I feel this way. I try and stay positive and happy about how great things are now but right now I’m just mourning my old body and being able to not have to think about my bowels. #fedup

You’re probably toggling between this photo and the last. Yes, there’s really only a 10-day difference. That’s the most difficult part of having gut-issues or a chronic illness - the inconsistency, the unknown. The ability to do everything “right” and still have your body reject the process, and then having to tackle the issue(s) blindly because you don’t know what the trigger was this time.
When I launched #UCme it was with the promise that I remain transparent about my journey with Ulcerative Colitis. This is part of it. Things don’t run smoothly and certainly aren’t picture-perfect. My mood isn’t always positive and uplifting. It’s easy to get frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, upset and to ask “why me?” when I find myself in this position (yet again).

I had a colonoscopy + endoscopy done on May 1st that determined that my , Entyvio, ’ . As some of you may remember, in July 2018 I developed antibodies to Remicade, my treatment at the time. So while finding out that another treatment has failed isn’t a foreign experience, it isn’t any easier. I’m disappointed and hurting, but I’ve not been defeated. It just means that my team and I have to design a new game plan.
So that’s what I’m ready to do. It’s time to rewire the negative, change up my diet, focus on my mental health, research more treatment options, consult with more experts, and listen more closely to my body and what it needs.
My answer is out there. I just have to keep working to find it.

If I had a nickel for each time someone has asked me, "How did you heal your SIBO for good?” I'd be a billionaire. ⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀
Sure, I did all the medications, supplements, and dietary things necessary. But those things alone will NOT keep you healthy and well, sans-relapse. I PROMISE. ⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀
In this quote, @DrWillCole said it best. I wanted to heal once and for all, so I went through a VERY messy time period - going through so many messy and uncomfortable situations and changes. ⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀
Here I am on the other side, though. It was so worth it. Xox⠀⠀
