What is everyone craving right now?

Valentine- are the medications working for you for your Crohn's? Are you finding you are having side effects? I was researching the pancolitis and found a forum where people discuss their colitis or crohn's and some of the medication side effects sound as bad (or worse) then the symptoms! It is actually pretty scary, I don't know why medical research can't find a less harsh, more conducive treatment. And it sounds like the problem is more wide spread then I would have ever realized... so I hope more research will be dedicated to finding a cure or less evasive treatment since some forms are completely debilitating and cause people to be house bound.
This site looks like it has some helpful "natural" life style change treatment which she was able to avoid surgery by following:

And this one was helpful to understanding the diseases:

That said, I've been craving lemons so what is my body saying with that? More vitamin C? Or I just need to do a cleansing?

I've cut out quite a bit of things that can aggravate it or make it worse. So I'm hoping that's working a little.

I might have to look into that. They just gave the medicine for the Crohn's. I guess they hope the Crohn's medicine will calm down the area the ulcer is in enough so that it can heal. They could also not want me mixing medications. I know my Crohn's meds cannot be mixed with certain types a meds.

A lot of the symptoms that I had before being diagnosed have gone away since I started taking it. I had some nausea the first month taking it, but I'm not having that side affect anymore. I think I was just having it because it was a new medication.
I've looked at the side affects of mine and luckily only one seems to be really severe and life threatening.
That's with all medication pretty much sadly. It's like those medication commercials where they list all the side affects and half of them have the potential to kill you while the actual problem that they are meant to fix has a low chance of actually becoming deadly.
I do know someone who has it really bad and she has a stomach pump because her stomach can't drain properly anymore. It can mess up your whole digestive system...
Luckily they caught mine in time before it got really bad. I did have these "attacks" though before I received treatment which caused quite a bit of pain and other things I'd rather not mention.
I might have to look into those Absorb Plus shakes that are mentioned in the blog.

Ha, you're craving lemons and your screen name is Lemon Cheesecake.

I want one of those anti-inflammatory smoothies again, but I'm too lazy tired to drive to the health cafe.

I was craving white chocolate ( probably because there was talk of white day in Japan where the men reciprocate white chocolate to the women giving them chocolate on Valentine's day...) so I got a sample at the store (lemon!) and I'm good!!

[murmurlade]

Lemon white chocolate sounds lovely.
I'm craving... some love, because of some post-valentines day blues

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'm sending you some love, Mur!

(Don't think of it as post Valentine's day...think of it as discounted candy and flowers day! Just in time for Chinese New Year gifts!!)

That said, I'd like some coconut pudding

[murmurlade]

//sends you pudding instead

[Gingerale]

angel food cake, nice and light and airy, yum!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I still want pudding...I think I might use up the quick to expire milk and make some pudding before it expires.

[murmurlade]

Good luck (hehe)
I've been craving peanutbutter white milk chewy choco chips that I made last time but I'm also too lazy to make it xD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh that sounds yummy! Is it time consuming?

[murmurlade]

It takes around an hour to two hours but the thing with timing is... I also want to give some to my friends in college and also when I go to singapore, but I need them to be fresh xD
Well, regardless I'm still lazy hahahahahaha

The recipe uses a crazy amount of sugar! Like... At least 2 cups for 30 pieces xD

Is it a no bake recipe - like cook on the stove top, I like those chocolate cookies.

[murmurlade]

It's a bake recipe >m< )
The only no-bake stuff I know are cheesecakes!!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

the no bake cheesecakes are better then the bake cheese cakes, in my opinion
