Yesterday I read your thread about loosing your appetite or not being hungry and loosing weight. It makes me sad to know how you suffer
I am really sorry to hear how awful you feel. Having Microscopic Colitis can get you down in every way - Tessa, I know it may not help you much that I tell you we've all been down and out due to Microscopic Colitis but sometimes it does make you feel better to know that you are not alone. You are not alone, darling - here is a hug for you (((((Tessa)))))
I was always very emotional while the MC symptoms were raging in my body and my entire lifestyle was running down the drain - I cried almost every day, I started meditating, I wrote in my dairy, I even prayed to God, I logged on to Sally's old GF Kitchen every day and wrote about how bad I felt and my accidents, my fears, my problems - big and small. I just didn't know where to turn; seemed the MC just kept on and on ruling my life even though I tried very hard to do the best I could to get better. The only place I really could turn that made sense was Sally's board - so I did - and then the invaluable support from my husband who was very understanding and supportive just like yours. In some ways it brought us closer than we were before.
I don't know if MC causes depression directly as a symptom but depression is definitely part of most of our lives - just ask around here and you will learn that most of us have intimate knowledge about depression; loosing one's appetite can be part of feeling depressed.
If you are on any kind of medication perhaps the loss of appetite is a side effect of your medication - you should ask your doctor or pharmacist about that.
Your husband is so lucky to have you, Tessa - you have a wonderful personality. He is right to support your GF diet efforts and I think you will both be glad you've chosen the diet. Just be sure to give yourself all the time you need to learn it - don't be hard on yourself for not knowing everything from the start and remember that making mistakes is part of the learning process.
I hope you are feeling a little less upset and a little more hungry today -
try to eat a little of the things you like the best (as long as they don't have gluten). And drink plenty of water/fluids. Some of us like potato chips very much - do you like potato chips? If so, you could go out and buy a bag of them and indulge. Try to find some potato chips that are plain with only salt added - no wheat flour.
Love,
Karen
Your words really help. . I am also wondering if this is part of a depression process.
