don't forget to add tomato based sauces as well this helps use the iron from the other foods, vit c. They do make a natural anti diarrhea pill. It has Charcoal, Apple Pectin and Kaolin clay in it. It works wonderfully, but you have to watch what oral meds you take and space it out, because to charcoal will absorb it it will not work.

hang in there, I have my good days and bad days as well. To be able to rant, scream, cry, yell, to someone other than your closet caregivers(family) is very cathartic and therapeutic. because at that point your are not necessarily looking for a response from the "target" but a listening and love response back, and that it is okay. It makes you feel better by expressing yourself, and then tomorrow will be a better day, when you have reset your "stress or tolerance meter." You have embarked on a journey that is laced with so many harder than you thought you could ever do things, we do not chose this path, but it is here and Faith, Hope Love and support will help through the rocky paths. I pray that things go better for you once some of the steroid effects wear off.
