If Crohn’s had its own reality TV show, it would be called “Will This Meal Betray Me?”

Here’s how my daily food negotiations go:

🥯 Me: “How about some toast?”
🔥 Crohn’s: “Boring. Go for it.”

🍕 Me: “Maybe a slice of pizza?”
🔥 Crohn’s: “Try it and see what happens. I dare you.

🥗 Me: “Okay, I’ll be good—just a salad.”
🔥 Crohn’s:Are you out of your mind?!

🥩 Me: “Fine, plain chicken and rice. Safe, right?”
🔥 Crohn’s: “You think it’s safe. Guess we’ll find out in 30 minutes.”

🍦 Me: “A little ice cream won’t hurt.”
🔥 Crohn’s: “Call your bathroom and let them know you’re moving in for the night.”

No matter what I eat, Crohn’s is always watching, waiting, ready to ruin my life.

Stay Strong.
