week3 update
Diet: Steamed brocolli, cauliflower. Water fried bitter cucumber (this seems something new but had good effect to me). Brown rice. Pearl Barley.
Good: It is clear that I've reduced my number of B moves. Less urgency.
Bad: Blood in stool, watery unformed stool.
Tips: Drink less water, more chewing job, a bit of taichi.
In the past 3-4 days, I feel that I was on the verge of flare-up. Blood at least once in the stool. Although I've restricted my diet to only steamed brocolli, cauliflower and brown rice, I can't stop the symptom. It got a bit better since yesterday. Today, I didn't feel going to the stool the whole working day. I had one after 8pm, still not formed with blood. I started to add boiled chicken to the meals. I also tried 2 half-cups soymilk (organic) yesterday and today, seems ok.
If I have 2 stools a day, one of them has blood, the other has. Based on my current condition, I am not aiming high. So, my goal of this week is to control my BMs to less than 3 times with less blood and urgency. My experience has put me back to reality that magic doesn't happen to everyone. I have to have the patience. I made myself a commitment for 3 month, I will stick to it and try my best.
I am waiting for the new Vitamin, with beta, gamma plus, to arrive to see if that will make a difference.
I've also decided starting to try Just Barley starting from tomorrow. I am still on regular medicines.
