I am a huge steak fan. Huge. In fact red meat in general is my weakness.
After being recently diagnosed with multiple AF's a few weeks ago I launched a full scale attack on my diet eating incredibly healthy and using the Rectogesic and was pleased to find a direct result with BM's, no bleeding or pain for 2 weeks.
Then last Thursday I thought "ahhh Im healing - why not go for a bit of a spaghetti bolegnase to celebrate?"
Big mistake. I am completely back to square one. It is obviously red meat that has taken its toll and after a day and a half of no BM's I had a retear yesterday
I feel crap today, totally deflated and beaten... and actually angry with myself for letting myself think it was healing up! As I sit here munching on my bowl of fruit and drink down my lactulose I wonder, is this it for me and my diet? Is my relationship with Spag Bol over? Are Lamb Shanks a thing of the past? Will I ever be able to eat naughty food ever again or am I destined to a life of greens, fibre bars and obsessing over the consistency of my own poo?
Have any of you guys healed and been able to eat fairly normally again or has having an AF caused an irreversible change in your diets? Do you guys think that maybe if I am ultra good for a few months and take treatment well, that they will have time to heal and then I will be able to revert to some sort of normal eating routine again after???
Don't get me wrong - I have been feeling GREAT eating so healthy and know it can only do me good and would do anything to heal these AF's....but I still want to be able to munch a steak and chips every now and then without fearing their exit - right now I am wondering if I will ever be able to do that.
