And I’m ok so far. I cheated a little with my gluten free diet last night and had curly fries with my dinner. I didn’t bloat though so it’s not too bad. I’m also feeling a lot better than I have been this week. I just hope I can last the weekend; I’m working six days this week so I may have to hibernate on Monday.

whatcanieat:

…Of no longer taking the Azathioprine. I didn’t throw up and so far, my stomach and bowels have been fine. We’ll see how it goes for the rest of the week. I need to call the ibd nurse again on Sunday to update them on how my symptoms have been and they’ll hopefully find some new meds to replace my prednisolone when I come off them in two weeks.

whatcanieat:

So splitting the dosage didn’t work; I was still heaving my guts up this morning. I’ve spoken to my GP who recommeded I stop taking the Azathioprine for the time being, at least until I hear back from the ibd nurse. I just hope my bowels don’t take this as an invitation to flare up.

whatcanieat:

I’m going to try splitting my azathioprine so I take one tablet this morning and the other this evening. Also, I’m having a hot chocolate now and taking my meds when I get to work so I’ve got something in my stomach before I take them.
I’m also hoping to hear back from the helpline again today so I should have answers by this afternoon.

whatcanieat:

So, the helpline thinks my throwing up in the mornings after taking my meds is to do with my azathioprine but because I don’t know the dosage off the top of my head, I need to call them again to get them to call me back tomorrow. I just need to remember to bring my meds with me to work.

So, all this week I’ve been very tired. I tried taking feroglobin but it was starting to make me feel sick so I stopped and went without any energy supplements which was probably a bad idea. I managed five days straight working with a late night finish in the middle ok but I don’t really want to try and do that again; I’m still quite tired despite going to bed early last night and sleeping in much later than normal this morning. It probably hasn’t helped that my stomach did a very strange thing this morning and rejected my breakfast – along with possible some of my meds – not once but thrice!

I only had rice cakes because I don’t have any gluten-free cereal in the flat nor did I have any bread for toast. I don’t know if it was because of the rice cakes or because I took my prednisolone, azathioprine and adcal-d3 at the same time as my mesalazine or something entirely different. I wouldn’t have thought it’d be because I took them all together but it happens again I think it’s something I’d need to talk to my doctor about. I’m feeling much better now and food at least staying down so that’s a plus. I’m planning on an early night again; got to be up early to get my blood test done.
