Lower back pain by: Anonymous
I always have really bad lower back pain during flare ups. What I have come to understand is that a lot of your body's nerves run down the inside of your spine and when your insides are inflammed they push against these nerves and cause the lower back pain. I usually take lots of hot showers, use a hot a pad, anything to calm the nerves down. Hope this helps.

Constipation and weigh gain by: JoAnne
I have the problem of constipation and weigh gain as well. I eat twizzlers and something in them help me not stay constipated or I take stole sofeners. As for the weigh gain I just watch what I eat and hope that I lose. I eat a lot of chicken and fish I stay away from most pasta's and rice. Each person is different in what they can and what they can't eat. I love salad's but I can't eat them. So I eat raw vegetables, eat smaller meals and eat your fruits 30 minutes before your meal or 30 minutes after your meal has help me with weigh lose. Hope this helps.
