SOS!

SOS!

Bought this guy a couple of months ago. He’s struggling.

The bottom leaves keep going brown and squishy, one layer at a time. When I remove them the next layer just goes the same way. The soil is dry to the touch at the top, but I’m not sure if I should be watering him again yet or not. He was last watered about 3 weeks ago. The spot where he normally lives is on higher shelf, so wandering if it is lack of light.

Any help much appreciated!

How to increase iron as a vegetarian

(Edited to remove reference to AI as seems to be inviting criticism rather than practical suggestions.)

Hi everyone

44F, currently in remission thanks to Omvoh.

Here are my recent Iron Panel results.

Transferrin - 3.54
Ferritin - 13
Iron - 15
Transferring Saturation - 15.9

Any advice on how to increase iron as a vegetarian would be much appreciated.

I haven’t been able to eat meat / eggs since my last big flare, but dairy is fine. In fact i probably eat too much dairy at times, and too much tea. In general I eat a reaonable good vegetarian diet, ie I try to keep things to unprocessed foods as much as possible, but I find myself reaching for sugary foods for energy more than I should. Fruit, nuts, beans, lentils are all fine, but I have to be careful about the texture of some veg, eg broccoli is a no, broccoli soup is fine.

Thanks!

1 year of remission

I just had my 1 year review since starting Omvoh and I am delighted to be able to say that my calprotectin remains in single digits - after hovering around 2500 for a long time while I searched for the right medication, it is now 7! I was in quite a dark place, feeling like life as I knew it was over, and now I can go to work, travel, see friends again relatively normally. Though I don’t know that the fear of things going wrong again will ever truely leave me.

Just a little celebratory post, and hopefully a little bit of hope for those of you who feel things will never get better. Please don’t give up hope.
