So there have been some positives over the last few weeks, I am back running and strength training consistently but I am also far away from where I want to be. With a week long holiday coming and then hopefully my operation my return to fitness might be a longer journey that I had hoped for.
On the plus side I am back off dairy but I really haven't fancies burgers since my infection, and burgers were my staple meal. Whilst I still seem to have fitness I was only able to do a very badly paced 20 minutes at parkrun and not sure I could go much quicker. At least a minute of that is the weight I have put on from the dairy but hey ho.
My goals now are to stay as fit as I can and get to the bottom of my health issues. I am still fatigued and still having regular bowel issues. I am going to push for a follow up calprotectin test as the last one was through the roof and from speaking to a doctor earlier in the week a lot of my other symptoms like the low folate I had, the electrolyte issues, fatigue and obviously the bowel issues could be explained by IBD of some description.
I don't want it to be IBD but at the same time a diagnosis and explanation would be great. So for now I am accepting the place I am in, attempting to work on various weaknesses and preparing for my holiday and op. Hopefully I can get lots of videos recorded on the holiday and in the post op recovery, videos that people will find interesting. I also plan on documenting any appointments etc. I have on my pathway to get back to full health. Whilst I still have belief in the Carnivore way of life modern medicine has its place and hopefully it can help me get to my full health and potential.
