May 2021

I am on a medication, a Non corticosteroid that does not absorb to quiet down my colon. It is 3mg 3 times a day.

I watch my caffeine intake, keep salads small, eat cooked veggies, limit raw veggies, avoid fried foods as much as possible.

It is also upper GI related as well. I take a 20mg genetic form of Prilosec each morning to control stomach acids so I do digest foods.

But do see your doctor, perhaps gave an upper and lower GI scope. Untreated could lead to Chron's. Not fun.
