I don't think there is a substantial difference between clowns and jesters beyond aesthetics. This is a subtype of clown. Same as mimes. If you spec into tomfoolery you're a clown. If you spec into mischief you're a jester

A Russian prankster glued a massive portrait of President Vladimir Putin to the inside of a residential elevator. He then placed a camera in the elevator to record people’s reactions.

So! In a fun twist, I'm starting to suspect that I have Crohns, and by fun I mean I really wish I could eat like a normal person. For obvious reasons, it's going to be a While till I can get officially checked, and google is being shockingly unhelpful in this regard, so I was wondering if you had any general advice for how to handle it in the meantime? Either personal experience or a website is great! I'm already avoiding dairy, which hurts me deeply as a lover of a shitty grilled cheese.

SAME HAT SAME HAT

In retrospect, there were warning signs beforehand. I’d had a somewhat…delicate system when it came to certain foods for some time. Gut issues run in my family on mom’s side; IBS is common, so that’s what I supposed it was.

I used to treat the symptoms with a tea made from chamomile, mint, calendula, and cinnamon, (equal parts, 2-3 cups a day, tastes quite nice) paired with a turmeric capsule a day. It worked quite well for several years, until of course it didn’t. (Because it eventually got worse, and I spent four days in the hospital! That was delightful. But, my gastroenterologist, after a colonoscopy, did say that the damage was less than what he normally saw in patients on their first flare, and that likely my efforts had delayed the first flare and helped.)

For months, I was on a low-fiber diet. No raw fruit or veg, no wholemeal bread (SUCKED because I LOVE wholemeal bread) no nuts, no popcorn. Cream of Wheat and milk and fruit juice was like, my whole diet for a solid month (I lost seven pounds, and I’m not a big person. That was seven pounds of muscle, and it was annoying as hell).

Now, trigger foods can be different for different people. For me, dairy is a safe food even in a flare. For you it might be an irritant. This is, to quote Dr. Irshad, “Because the gastrointestinal system is weird.” So it’s kinda trial and error to figure out what’s safe and what’s not. You do this by cutting out basically everything fun, and then trying one food at a time and seeing if you react to it. Fiber is often a major culprit, so look there.

Now, with it managed (2 mg of sulfasalazine and 1 mg of folic acid a day) I can eat nearly anything I want again. Nearly. Popcorn is still problematic, and I can’t eat like, a whole pound of raw cherries any longer.

So, hope this helps, know that I’ve got the exact same thing, and if it gets bad go to the ER. (That’s where I ended up).

There is definitely something nice about watching the rain from a porch.

people will say they aren’t attractive and then go create art and then go write beautiful poetry and then go bake a cake for a friend and then go spread positivity and then go write a novel and then continue to say they aren’t attractive, as if everything they do doesn’t count or doesn’t matter, as if societal expectations somehow decide their worth and fate.

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
