I can drink milk!

Most people can drink milk though, right?????

So, right before I got married, I was diagnosed with Chron's disease...ick. Since then I've had to take at least 12 pills a day...sometimes it was 16. I believe they caught it fairly soon as I've heard some cases are a lot worse than mine.

With the Chron's did come some eating restrictions. The restrictions are not the same with every person...you kind of had to figure them out on your own.


I had always love milk, but that was one of the first things to go. Sad, but hey, 'paying for it' when I drank it was not really worth it.


I had always asked my Gastroenterologist (Chron's doctor) what would happen when I got pregnant. He mentioned that I should keep taking my pills and that it was anyone's guess how I would respond. Apparently 33% of women get much worse with Chron's when they're pregnant...33% stay about the same....and 33% got better.


I am happy to report that SO FAR I am in the 33% that got better....my first test, I can drink MILK!!!!!


In the past 7 years, John and I would buy a half gallon and sometimes that would go 'bad'. Now we go through a gallon well before the expiration date! I hope that I'm able to drink milk after the baby arrives as well....I've missed it. :)
