Right, this week I've received the results of the biopsy done the 9th of July and it basically say that there is “no evidence of active IBD”, which is great of course, but there are some changes in my colon I seem to understand. Here it is:
I'm a bit worried about this change, I don't know what that means, and as soon as I see my GP I'll ask, because this wasn't there when I had the colonoscopy.
In any case, this week has been, let's say, somewhat “different”. Of course I'm still taking 2g Mesalazine every day, but I had to change my diet quite a bit as I attended a wedding. Needless to say, mindful of the experience of other people I talked to, I have tried to be a good boy and restrained myself (I haven't drunk a drop of alcohol, and incidentally I haven't drunk since about January), but there was plenty of other delicious things I couldn't possibly resist, like cheese, parma ham, cream cake, sweets, red meat etc. And that's just the wedding day, in the space of about 3 days I've been eating plenty of cheese and meat. So, how did it go? Pretty well I think, I had a few episodes of mucus in my stools, but, all in all, much better than I could have possibly expected, I think it is still pretty good – except for the fact that I've picked up a nasty cold.
Now all this is important I think, because iy means that slowly I can start again enjoying things that I had to give up. Of course I shouldn't be inconsiderate, but I know that I can push a little, so happy days!
