“Patha pafupifupi zaka ziwiri kuchokera pamene ndinatsanzikana ndi zizindikiro za matenda a Crohn. Nthawi zina ndimakumbukira zowawa zimene ndinkakumana nazo tsiku ndi tsiku ndipo sindimakhulupirira kuti moyo wanga unasintha mosangalala.
Ndinkangotsekula m'mimba nthawi zonse komanso kusadziletsa. Ndikhoza kulankhula nanu, ndipo mkati mwa zokambiranazo, mwadzidzidzi ndinathawa "pa bizinesi." Kwa zaka 2, pamene matenda anga anali pachimake siteji, ine pafupifupi sindinamvere aliyense. Atandilankhula, ndinkangoganizira kumene kunali chimbudzi chapafupi. Izi zinkachitika mpaka ka 15 patsiku! Mankhwala oletsa kutsekula m'mimba sizinathandize.
Izi, ndithudi, zinkatanthauza kusokonezeka kwakukulu pamene ndikuyenda - nthawi zonse ndinkafunika kudziwa malo a chimbudzi ndikukonzekera kuthamangirako. Palibe kuwuluka - sizinali za ine. Sindikanatha kuyimirira pamzere kapena kudikirira nthawi zomwe zimbudzi zatsekedwa. Pamene ndinali kudwala, ndinakhaladi katswiri pankhani zachimbudzi! Ndinkadziwa malo aliwonse omwe chimbudzicho chinali komanso nthawi yotseka. Chofunika kwambiri, kufunitsitsa kosalekeza kunali vuto lalikulu pantchito. Kuyenda kwanga kumakhudza kuyenda pafupipafupi ndipo ndimayenera kupanga, kukonzekera njira pasadakhale. Ndinadwalanso matenda a reflux komanso popanda mankhwala (monga proton pump inhibitor, mwachitsanzo), sindinkatha kukhala ndi moyo kapena kugona.
Kuphatikiza pa zonsezi, ziwalo zanga zimapweteka, makamaka mawondo anga, khosi ndi mapewa. Mankhwala opha ululu anali anzanga apamtima. Panthawiyo ndinayang'ana ndipo ndinadzimva chisoni, m'mawu amodzi, munthu wokalamba ndi wodwala. Mosakayikira, ndinali wotopa nthawi zonse, wosinthika komanso wopsinjika maganizo. Ndinauzidwa kuti zakudya sizimakhudza matenda anga ndiponso kuti ndi mankhwala amene anandipatsa ndingadye chilichonse chokhala ndi zizindikiro zofanana. Ndipo ndinadya chilichonse chimene ndimakonda. Mndandanda wanga wapamwamba unaphatikizapo zakudya zofulumira, chokoleti, ma pie ndi soseji buns. Komanso sindinkadana ndi mowa ndipo ndinkamwa chilichonse mosasankha.
Zinali kokha pamene mkhalidwewo unali utaipitsitsa ndipo ndinali pa tsiku lamalingaliro ndi lakuthupi pamene mkazi wanga anandilimbikitsa kuti ndisinthe. Atasiya tirigu ndi shuga woyengedwa bwino, kulemera kwake kunayamba kutha. Patatha milungu iwiri, zizindikiro zanga zinazimiririka. Ndinayamba kugona bwino komanso kumva bwino. Poyamba, ndinapitiriza kumwa mankhwala. Ndikumva bwino kuti ndiyambe maphunziro, ndipo ndinachita momwe ndingathere. Kuchotsa ma size 2 pazovala, kenako kuchotsera ziwiri.
Posakhalitsa ndinasankha pulogalamu ya "hardcore" ya 10-day detox yomwe inachotsa mowa, caffeine, tirigu, shuga, nyemba za mkaka, ndi zakudya zonse zoyengedwa. Ndipo ngakhale kuti mkazi wanga sankakhulupirira kuti ndikhoza kusiya mowa (komabe, monga ine), ndinachitabe. Ndipo pulogalamu imeneyi ya masiku 10 inandithandiza kuchotsa mafuta ambiri, komanso kukana mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Reflux mbisoweka, kutsekula m'mimba ndi ululu mbisoweka. Mwathunthu! Maphunzirowa anapitirira kwambiri, ndipo ndinayamba kufufuza nkhaniyi mwatsatanetsatane. Ndinagula mabuku ambiri, ndinasiya kuonera TV ndikuwerenga, kuwerenga. Mabaibulo anga ndi Nora Gedgades "Primal Body, Primal Mind" ndi Mark Sisson "The Promal Blueprint". Ndawerengapo mabuku onse awiri mpaka kumapeto kambirimbiri.
Tsopano ndimaphunzitsa nthawi yanga yopuma, ndimathamanga, ndipo ndimakonda kwambiri. Ndinazindikira kuti matenda a Crohn makamaka amayamba chifukwa cha zakudya zopanda thanzi, ngakhale kuti akatswiri sagwirizana ndi izi. Ndinazindikiranso kuti proton pump inhibitor inkalepheretsa thupi kukakamiza asidi kuti azigaya chakudya. Zoona zake n’zakuti asidi amene ali m’mimba ayenera kukhala wamphamvu moti amagaya chakudya komanso kuti asapangitse kugaya chakudya. Komabe, kwa nthawi yayitali, ndinangopatsidwa mankhwala "otetezeka", omwe ndimatha kupitiriza kudya chilichonse chomwe ndimakonda. Ndipo zotsatirapo za inhibitor zinali mutu, nseru, kutsegula m'mimba, kupweteka kwa m'mimba, kutopa, ndi chizungulire, zomwe zinangowonjezera zizindikiro za Crohn.
Mkati mwa zaka ziŵiri ndinali nditatha kudwala popanda chithandizo chamankhwala. Osati kale kwambiri ndinali kubadwa kwanga kwa zaka 50, zomwe ndinakumana nazo ndi thanzi, zodzaza ndi mphamvu ndi kamvekedwe, zomwe ndinalibe ngakhale pa 25. Tsopano chiuno changa ndi chofanana ndi 19. Mphamvu zanga sizidziwa malire, ndipo tulo langa ndi lamphamvu. Anthu amazindikira kuti pazithunzi ndimawoneka wachisoni kwambiri nditadwala, pomwe pano ndimwetulira nthawi zonse komanso ndili wosangalala.
Khalidwe lanji pa zonsezi? Osakhulupirira zonse zomwe akunena. Musakhulupirire kuti ululu ndi zolephera ndi mbali yachibadwa ya ukalamba. Fufuzani, fufuzani ndipo musataye mtima. Dzikhulupirireni!"
