i am a bodybuilder. i’ve ate very healthy for years now. recently got diagnosed with colitis. was sitting at 155lbs before this flare up. now i’m 143lbs. lost all my gains. last week i was bedridden, i couldn’t sleep or eat. the pain was and still is horrible. i still have trouble eating what i used to eat. i feel miserable. i can’t go out to eat with my girlfriend at our favorite places. i can’t even go out without having to worry about where the nearest bathroom is. i cannot work properly and have to explain to my coworkers that i’m a chronic pooper. it’s so embarrassing. i’ve tried gluten free, didn’t do anything. i still eat healthy. i feel so lost. i’m only 21 and it feels like i’ve already lost so much. it’s not fair because i’ve always been healthier than my peers. what do i do? i was prescribed prednisone for now but i don’t want to live on a medication. nobody is meant to live like that. i just want some answers.
